    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

    Sorry for my English

    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
