I have a windows hosting server and thats management pretty smoothly so far. what exactly should I check to monitor the health of my server, is there a checklist .. any tips .. where should I start from...
well, this rejoinder needs ot be long and involved ,but i m gonig to give you a few short tips. Search for "sygate SOS" and ru nthe harbour scans to make sure your firewall is donig its job. View the web logs from your web/ftp server. Also look at the end viewer to see who has been logging on and off and what your programs and services have been doing (errors wise and whatnot). Keep a tight eye on your firewall logs and look for questionable activity. Hopefully you have active IDs systems installed and can guard against that stuff. Go to the microsoft main site and do searches on server health and follow those links, they can reprove u what things to do and look for. I can't give links to this as microsoft rotates their links regularly and would be outdated in 2 hours. Like I mentioned, there is tons of cram u can do to minitor your server depending on how involved nad what you want to monitor. Just general heath of it is painful to give an answer to as each different service the server runs can and needs to be minitored. There are programs out ther ethat unify alot of the logs and service monitoring into one GUI. If your server is getting hammered with users then u require ti automate the process. If you are just using it for low amount of people or services, then jsut look at logs yourself. If you have it busy on the web and its been working ok for over a week then u can be fairly sure that it is secure. But you do need ot watch who may have been skilful to take control of it as 50% of hackers out there get control and use it to their advantage and leave it do what u have it programmed to do there fore u have no intimation anythnig has changed. I run email, ftp, http, streaming meadia, instant messanging and a few other things, in the colour of servers, so i know what you are talking about. Security and monitoring/auditing are my best friends.

Web site Hosting, Windows Server vs Linux Which is Better?
Sep 04, 2008 by Steven L | Posted in Other - Computers
We currently have a hosting suite that looks after our website, I have found out that they are running Windows based Server. My question is should a website provider/hosting absolutely be running Windows server or do respectable Hosting companies run Linux. I just need information like the cons of having windows locale.
My website is hosted by Microsoft on Windows servers, but having administered many servers (Novell NetWare, OS/2, Unix, Windows NT4 thru Server 2003, Linux), Windows would be my last realm of possibilities for most server functions.
Management likes Windows servers because they think that the graphical user interface will belittle the cost of administrators, but total cost of ownership is greater for Windows servers (greater munitions requirements, less MTTF).
I had heavily used NetWare servers that would run without rebooting for 11 months, yet Windows NT4 nd 2000 servers that were less lightly weighted down needed to be rebooted every week or two, or their processes would die or slow due to memory leaks. NetWare and Unix servers, though sticky to set up and tune, would run and run without attention.
Unix servers can execute PHP, which is a powerful server side scripting jargon. Windows web servers can't run PHP.
