My consideration: both.

  1. client-side - more user-friendly (e.g can respond right after leaving the field, no full-page reload, quicker response since no roundtrip network request, etc)

  2. server-side - because you shouldn't trust the client

The drawback is of course maintaining the rules in both places, especially if they are in different languages/frameworks.
