Explanation

A demilitarized zone (DMZ) is the most secure place to host a server that will be accessed publicly through the Internet. Demilitarized zone (DMZ) or perimeter network is a small network that lies in between the Internet and a private network. It is the boundary between the Internet and an internal network, usually a combination of firewalls and bastion hosts that are gateways between inside networks and outside networks.

Hosting a server on the intranet for public access will not be good from a security point of view.
