I'm sorry Jeff but I'm looking and I don't see your post. Thanks!


Some ISP Usenet feeds drop *many* messages. Try using msnews.microsoft.com
for all Microsoft Public newsgroups.
Then go back and look for Jeff's reply. It's in there.

Good Morning Cris,

I hope you are doing well. Any response from Jeff on the Courtyard
arrangement?

Jeff did not have any immediate recollection of the whole
courtyard thing.
If you have a link it make refresh some memory.

Unfortunately this is one of those cases when the say, you have to
spend money to make money, probably holds true.

Just remember, if this is connected to your accounting software,
you are exposing your company's financial data and records to the
web. I would hope that you've researched the kind of connections
between your webserver and the backend stuff and how the software
protects that. --

Thanks for the reply Cris. As stated in my post I don't have
much of a choice because of our new accounting software. The
ecommerce site that comes with the software is top of the line. We'll
be forking out hundreds/mo for hosting both accounting &
website or if we just had an ISP for the site, setting up a VPN
tunnel is expensive also. We have to
try hosting in-house. When sales increase with this website and
visitors
increase than we can justify hosting it offsite God willing. With
approx. 2000-3000 visitors per month our cable connection should
be fine.
We can get close to 1MB UP with about 8MB down with our
cable/internet provider.

Thanks for pinging Jeff for me.

one of the main problems with folks hosting a public website
(putting security issues aside)...especially for ecommerce and
if you plan a reasonable volume of business, is your connection
to the internet? What is your uplink speed to the net

Most business connections are either 384 or 512kbps uplink....Not
ideal
for webhosting...thats why its always better to put it with the
folks who have the big pipes.

If I want to buy something from a website, and performance is
poor..I may cancel or not buy there again.

I'm trying to ping Jeff to alert him to your posting.

Good Afternoon,

I'm looking to set up a webserver for a public website and after
searching google for information on this topic I found several
discussions that Jeff Middleton was in. I am interested in
learning more about this courtyard arrangement spoken of in a
Aug 5th 2002 topic
called "SBS and hosting (newbie at hosting)".

We're running SBS2003 and just added a member server Windows
2003 R2. I'm assuming I will have to remove this as a member
server since we will be implementing a DMZ. The reason we are
hosting our website because our business accounting
application(SQL backend) that is run on
SBS allows us to put our products online but the database and
ecommerce
must reside in same building or set up an expensive VPN tunnel
with an
ISP. We could have an ISP host the database application AND
website or
we have to host it ourselves, as long as the database and
website are under 1 roof it's ok as I was told by the software
vendor. It'll be too expensive for us to have the database
local and set up a VPN tunnel
to a ISP. So we're going to try to host it ourselves.

After looking at several discussions, I like this courtyard
arrangement
referenced in the discussion "SBS and hosting (newbie at
hosting)". Do
you have a diagram possibly showing how this would be done. Also is
there any documented information for setting this up? Would you
still
recommend this arrangement in 2007? (smile) This was your
recommendation among others back in 2002.

Thanks!

Sincerely,
Anthony Smith
In God We Trust!
