Peter, Good points! I'm happy to see that you have also found 1and1.com to be useful as it will be my first website. ;-)
I've been reading that different recipes require all sorts of security setups that are different from the Windows environment (such as 770, etc.) and since I'm very familiar with Windows I would prefer to have my site on a Windows server. Also, there seem to be settings that I have to change for different recipes to work and at times they have 2 different explanations (one for Windows and one for Linux). Is the environment that different?

Just FYI I don't think there's any different addons or whatever for pmwiki on different platforms. Maybe that's not what you meant, tho...? -Peter On 9/1/08, Swift, Chris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Dear all, > > I'm in the process of getting a server setup for my site and I'm > looking at > 2 different options from www.1and1.com.
