You mean you gonna build your own web server? Or, you are asking for web hosting company?





If you are going to build a web server, try using FreeBSD, its free and easy to maintain.





If you are looking for web hosting company, try HostForWeb.com they got great technical support and redundancy. You can avail of there shared or dedicated server for a reasonable cost.
Reply:OK, you don't know what you have done. This is like asking which is the best OS. Mac, Linux, or Windows.


I use and prefer Windows 2000 AS, but I also host 2 sites with XP Pro simply using IIs.


If you are hosting a site that will get a couple of dozen hits a day then a DSL or cable service with W2k Pro or Windows XP Pro running Apachy will do just fine. Provided there are not downloading of files.


I receive 50 to70 hi a day over 4 sites from a home cable connection of 8Mbps\768Kbps.





A few sites that will help. Good luck.
