I got a job working in a Linux/Windows web server arable and I want to know what certifications would help me improve my career?
Anytime webservers are enmeshed with, start with at least Security+, I assume you have your A+? This is often overlooked, but is an absolute must for a good groundwork.
MCSA is effective for windows and all that just as a good background but not really specific and not useful for linux.
If this will be Citrix based at all, and a lot of companies likely towards citrix solutions, the Citrix Certified Enterprise Administrator (CCEA) is serviceable.
On the hardware side of things, figure out where you want to focus. Most companies today seem to lodge cisco solutions, so a Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) certification is helpful.
All of these have different paths, there are a lot of companies that will help you find the best path for you. Check out CompTIA. http://certification.comptia.org/securit y/
Belief this helps. The right choice is different for everyone, but this should give you some ideas.
Good luck!!!

How can I make my own dedicated web server?
Feb 19, 2007 by superkbiggs | Posted in Computer Networking
Hi, I'm currently dispiriting to convert an altered (suped up) IBM Aptiva which was originally made for windows 98 into a web server. I would like to use this to assembly several sites. I'm trying to choose between either windows server 2003 or linux. Anybody have any suggestion?
That depends a lot on your involvement with or willingness to learn Linux. If you have either I would recommend it hands down. For one it is free, two you can more easily set up understood sites (you said you wanted to run several) with just a copy paste in a config document etc.
If the sites grow more advanced you might need php or mysql integration. If you think you will difficulty this I would set it up from the start, will be much easier.
Main advantage to a Linux box is less maintenance and will run forever bar hardware issues. Windows needs regular re-booting etc even with the server class OS.
Also if your box was at designed for Win 98 you may have a hard time running 2003 on such old hardware where Linux will have few issues.
Reject all this if you don't know Linux nor want to go through the learning curve on it which some don't.

I am current to rent a dedicated server for my site, I will probably have no more than 1000 unique hits for the first six months, but I after it to be fast. Please tell me what is the best RAM, processor speed, and other relevant hardware to have. Thanks!
Believe 2GM RAM with a Pentium processor. Apache on Linux will be a good choice. Hard disk will depend on your needs, but colour a start with 120GB hard disk.
