Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not really familar with .net. This server will be a test ground for something along the lines of wordpress. That's what my current host supports, so I'll have to do the lamp thing. They run a linux server, apache 2.? and php5. So again, what do I need to install besides the basic apache, php5 and mysql to run wordpress? Modules, etc. that I would need.
