RE: "Secure" Web Hosting?

[<james_love () agilent com>]

IIS 6.0 comes as standard on Server 2003 and is secure enough. I have switched to Apache though, coz there were a few 
things that couldn't work right (or i couldnt get to work at least) on IIS.

Apache works on windows 200x servers fine and I would recommend using this
instead of IIS..

I think that you mount an Apache Web Server on a Windows 2000 or 2003 (I
don´t know if Apache work on W2003) and you secure the Operative Sistem, you
are fine or more secure that usind IIS.

I don´t test IIS 6.0 over 2003

Asunto: "Secure" Web Hosting?


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
