Hey all! Well my project is fast picking up, so we need to move onto a dedicated machine. But the problem is - I don't even know where to begin!
So we are going with a Linux fully managed server, since it'll be cheaper and easier to manage in the long run (so I've heard) - I am not too strong with Linux; having never messed around with it or compiled for it.
So our dedicated host recommends the following OS's to us -
CentOS
Redhat version 5
Debian
OpenSuse
Ubuntu
Fedora
Which one would you recommend for hosting PHP in a Professional environment?
Though I am mostly comfortable with the Windows OS, they provide Windows 2008 Enterprise - is that a good web hosting platform? I think I am being influenced by many other biased opinions so I am unsure for myself...
We also want to host JBoss, I am not too familiar with it (we have a java developer) but I won't be speaking to him till end of this week so I thought I'd start doing some research - atm I'm a bit confused :x
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you very much!
