I registered a new domain name for a client. This is a bare domain name,
no web hosting included. I plan on hosting it myself. I have a server I
can use, presently Windows 2003 Server is installed on it, P4-2.4GHz.
Here are some scenarios I am considering.
1. Install Ubuntu 6.06 Server, if I need W2003Svr, run in a VM.
2. Use W2003Svr, install Ubuntu 6.06 in a VM, host in the VM.
3. Use W2003Svr for all of it.
4. Use a different distro.
5. Host with Lunarpages or similar.
6. Tell him I chickened out, run fast away from it!
This is a first for me on this type of project. I do a lot of business
for them, consulting, repair, etc. They have a current web site now
which I will move over to my server, probably use the new domain name
mainly for email. Possibly host other sites later.
What are the potential caveats for me? I like the idea of the Linux
route, but don't have a lot of experience with it, even though I've
dabbled with it since RH6.
Any advice?
