would I be better off (more secure) with a real server ? i.e. Windows 2000 / Windows 2003 ? or a NIX box ? Right now I just use Windows XP Pro. But to host a remotely accessible portal .. I am not sure that is enough.
A windows server should allow you to handle more simultaneous connections, but as long as you are protected by a firewall, I don't think security is an issue. The web server needs to run under windows still... not Linux.
from other threads ----------------- [quote user="Jason"] I'm still not sure here. I want a portal but without the diagnoses, surgeries,appointments,results or immunizations. Would that be hard ? [/quote] Implemented. Thank you.
