Which is best Win2k3 or Win2k

[Mota331]

I'm going to be hosting my own website. Which does everyone think is best when using IIS?

I know Apache for unix is the best but for now I don't know unix commands.

Well, as far as Apache goes it has been ported to windows so you have options there.

IIS in Windows 2003 has been designed with less features installed/activated by default so it should be a bit more secure than IIS on Windows 2000. Having said all of that, IIS is IIS. I don't work with it, but from what I have read if you use the lockdown tool from Microsoft its about the same result. IIS 6.0 does add apache-like text file configuration so if you wanted to reconfigure IIS just modify the file and restart the service.

I guess you may spring for the web server edition, but I don't know about pricing for that. Gotta love *nix + Apache...

Another vote for 2K3 Server with IIS 6, it's easier and more secure "out of the box"

It's better for some things, it depends on what you are attempting to accomplish.
