I guess I didn't make myself clear. Delany will be run on a dedicated unix based OS supplied and managed by Webair. I have 20 years of experience on computers, enough to understand how to figure out what I can do with f-ing up the server and enough to realize when I need to get unix qualified help.

I support Windows for my corporate clients. Unix people can't wait to bash Windows systems and maybe for good reason if your unix knowledgeable or trained. But my clients get freaked out about concepts such as passwords, remote access, domains, and basic security concepts. They recognize a windows server which helps to asuage their fears, a unix based OS is hard to even sell to a SMALL company. In a SMALL company your dealing with egos of people that aren't much more than your average home user that can surf the internet, right a letter in works/word, and check their email. Try putting someone like that on unix.

I beat out other company's all the time that are trying to sell unix servers because they scare the clients.

What I'm looking for is advice on the Webair system. It is a P4 3.0 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 10 mbps, 2x 160 GB SATA Storage, 11 IPs, and Unlimited Domains.
* Something better than Wordpress (capabilities, secure, cheap, etc)
* Something better than osCommerce (I built a fully customized store with this for another client already so I'm familiar with it. Customization was fantastic, coding was a pain-in-the-ASS. Is there something easier?)

DelanyDecolleur.com is not going to have an affiliate system (yet) and is a solo-girl site that will be managed by Webair, with MAS (meaning PHP, mySQL, etc), and secured by Stongbox.

So again, I'm not a web guy, I would really appreciate comments about other programs and what you use them for.

Lycanthrope, thanks for the offer, I will contact you later. I can't say what else I need because I'm not a web guy, I don't know what is possible. I wouldn't be doing this at all except that Delany asked me to be her tech guy. She is a close personal friend and she knew she would get a good deal and not get taken advantage of especially since I'm only going to take care of the technical aspects, it's her site and her business.

Thanx, David.
