"Secure" Web Hosting?

["Mark Spencer" <mspencer () evidentdata com>]

Hello all,

I'm looking for suggestions on web hosting providers that pay particular
attention to security issues, e.g. hardening networks, servers, and
applications. 

On a somewhat related note, if I wanted to host a web server myself,
what is the recommended platform for getting a web server online in a
secure and intuitive fashion?  I know that OpenBSD has an excellent
reputation, but may be difficult to setup for someone that hasn't spent
much time with BSD.  What about EnGarde Linux?  

Thanks!

Mark
