Windows Server Hosting

how can I configure Windows 2003 server to hosting 2 website on the same server?
I have a server with public(fix) IP address I want to host 2 domain(website) on this server.Please tell me how?

You've got 3 options. If you want both sites to be accessed by different IP addresses, you will need to configure your network card with the additional IP address aswell as the first and then create a second website in IIS and configure it to use this IP address only. If you want to access both sites using the same IP address - you'll need to add an additional site in IIS and configure host headers by adding the relevant domain names to each site. Be aware that this method may not work for some clients. Third option is to configure your different websites in IIS to use different ports (e.g. port 80 and port 81).

Whats the difference between hosting on a linux server or a windows server??


Using a linux server you get all the software for free, while with a windows server you need to purchase licenses. Linux is more efficient with the same hardware -> you get much more bang for the buck using linux

I moved my website from a windows server to a linux hosting server ! and now I have some problem?
now the problem is : in some casese the images does not show ! and my links are lower case and uper case and are not the same in the pages. I have more than 200 pages ! what is the better way to me to correct the problem ? I have dream weaver and front page 2006 !

Oh - my god -- it is a mess... I don't see an easy way. You have to go through each non working link (or image) and rename the image / link to the case as expected in the link. This is why you should use a Content Management System (CMS) to host huge web sites. Probably it is a good time to try out typo3, mambo or joomla... CMS make sure that the content is separated from the presentation.

The answers so far demonstrate the lack of actual understanding of both products. Apache IS the most widely used web server. And there is a reason for that. That said, which is better depends on YOU. What do YOU know? What do YOU have? If you know vbScript/ASP/ASP.NET then you're going to be better off using IIS because while there is an ASP interpreter for Linux, it's not flawless and new technologies simply won't work. If you know linux, then I'd use linux... If you know it, then you don't have to worry about administrative costs. If you don't then the money you might save by using Linux will be QUICKLY spent employing linux consultants and/or employees to setup and maintain the linux system. It's a HUGE mistake to look at the shelf price of the product and IGNORE the costs that might be required to maintain it. Next, you need to consider that if you don't know either, IIS is a GENERALLY GUI managed server - Apache is done on the command line (though some GUI interfaces exist). For the easiest system, then you're looking at IIS. As for security, ABSOLUTELY, IIS is targeted by more hackers than any other web server. Windows is targeted FAR more than Linux. BUT, that said, Check www.secunia.org. IIS 6 (which was a near complete redesign of how the system works) has had 3 advisories in 4 years. Apache has had MANY More. Coding is subject to human error and omissions, but IN GENERAL, Microsoft HAS improved to a point that makes them reasonably safe. As for reliability, both systems are reliable. I just calculated my uptime on my Windows Servers - 99.993% uptime. That translates into roughly 40 minutes of downtime per year. And frankly, the downtime is only because the reboots take 6 minutes or so to fully restart on my systems.

Should I get hosting with a Linux or Windows server? and what is the best and why!!?


I'd generally go with Linux as I trust its security a whole lot more. The real decision basically comes down to "Do you want ASP?", if you do, go with Windows. If you want some other server side scripting support, then Linux is likely a better bet. I believe that Linux hosting is generally cheaper too, so it should probably be your default choice.

How to direct from www to non-www domain on a Windows Server?
I want to direct a website from www.example.com to example.com for SEO purposes related to domain cannonicalization. I know how to do it on an Apache server, but this website is hosted on a Windows server using IIS. Anyone know how this can be done?

You can go to the properties of the virtual directory and under the directory tab you can select redirection to a url and type in example.com. RJ

I have an old, unused, Dell 1300, Pro Edge, running Windows 2000 server on my network that is no longer running any applications, hosting any domains, or storing any files.
