For web hosting there's probably not that much difference, make the choice based on who is going to be looking after the server...Comment

yeah thats greatComment

It's managed hosting, and the host (www.isprime.com in this case) provides both.
I wanted to hear your answers and compare it with theirsComment

Linux cent os 5,beacuse it easiest.People promote freebsd beacuse of it's security,but freebsd doesn't have thing anything special when it comes to security except many disabled features which sometimes make it hard to manage it.So if you want linux with security of freebsd,you just need to harden system with things like bastila and grsecurity plus firewall,mod security and many other things.Comment

yes, and so does the exchange server.
I wont go in to details about the setup for obvious reasons.
The mail lands on MX A (smtp) and relays it to MX B wich is my exchange server.
MX B Only accept incomming traffic from MX A.
That keeps the ddos attacks and scriptkiddies away.
I love to far out in the country to get anything bigger then a 5/5mbit connection.
A larger ddos attack would block access to the Cisco VPS consentrator and customer support
That is why I dont have email or webtraffic go straight to the server.
The outlook webaccess aitn even hosted locally either. Its just the frontend on a remote server
When sending email from my Outlook or outlook-webaccess, it is send out by MX B (domain.local)Last edited by Machete_; 09-13-2009, 04:43 AM.Comment

i always liked linux over freebsd..Skype: Traffic-RushHour | ICQ: 467617514Comment

Others have said it best, go with whatever the folks maintaining the server are most familiar with with. In the end, there isn't a lot of difference performance wise and such, if ran by competent sys-admins.
I prefer Linux, simply because I *know* linux. If anything happens on Linux, there is a good chance I can recovery/fix it. FreeBSD however, I only know the basics.
If ran by competent folks, you will have a good experience with either.

FreeBSD is my preferred choice. the ports system is pure bliss. its also true UNIX and I find there is much more consistant documentation. Some of the highest uptimes (3-4 yrs) are systems running BSD.Comment

Thank you very much for all the honest feedback.
I conclude there is no big diff in limits, so I will use whatever they reccomend.
thxComment

I prefer FreeBSD, just because I've been using it for over 10 years and am used to it.Comment

Even though I said earlier it doesn't matter, I may as well put in my +1 for FreeBSD. Been using it since 1996Comment

Solaris 10, because it blows Linux and BSD.
Otherwise, just Linux.Comment

We let customers pick the OS, we normally work with FreeBSD however.
If managed, setup and configurated correctly both linux and unix (freebsd) are a stable and good choice.ICQ: 267-443-722 / leon [at] adulteuhost [dotcom]
