495218 2006-10-30 07:15:00 Yello, for self web hosting, which server would be better, Windows IIS or Apache? Am running XP SP2.Any comments much appreciated, Cheers Whenu (9358)
495219 2006-10-30 07:39:00 Apache is more stable and secure IMO , and cheaper too. rogerp (6864)
495220 2006-10-30 08:12:00 Apache is much better than IIS for most users. I believe IIS has better performance and is a bit easier to configure but it still lacks basic features like URL rewriting. Apache is open source and is also the most popular server in the market. TGoddard (7263)
495221 2006-10-30 16:28:00 You'd probably find that Apache is more secure than the version of IIS you can run on XP. Greg (193)
