Re: Multi Site Hosting

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

ok well that throws a different spin on it.

put it on another machine running windows web server 2003 and direct the
traffic using isa2004.

with database hacks etc you dont want that on the same machine as all of
your business data, not because it's worth a lot but just its a pita to
rebuild if it's hacked/trashed/cracked etc.
