Best Combo

[reynolds]

In your experience what is the best e-commerce combo. I have used Apache ( Tomcat (App Server) & Hypersonic SQL which came to a grand price of £0 but had a few flaws. Do you get what you pay for in this area?

The best combo is .NET, IIS6 on Windows 2003 using SQL Server 2000 backend.

No flaws and only cost me £1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

Linux + Apache + mod_perl + PHP + MySQL - upfront costs of £0 but worth many £1000s

Re: re

clearly you dont know jack sh1t - open source runs fine on Windows, not as good as on Unix but those who run Windows should expect to reboot it more often than not.

LAMP seems to be the answer

Linux, Apache, MySQL, PhP.

Can anyone advise on the the physical and logical architecture to run a small hosting site ( 200 domains) offering also e-mail?

With regards to comms, what is the best solution? Will ADSL suffice?

Thanks for the advice.

ah that - I thought it was acceptable to use negative in that phrase - "you dont know nothing" kind of thing - double negative is not view as minue minus making plus, but just stressing the point.
