As several people have mentioned, Apache runs nicely on Windows. However, IIS provides some potentially useful Windows-specific functionality, such as client authentication against Active Directory. Does your client plan to use that functionality? Has your client expressed a preference for IIS, or just Windows? Who will manage this server, you or your client? In general, I prefer IIS if I'm using Windows, but it really doesn't matter much. As Jim said, use whatever you're more comfortable with, in the absence of a specific feature requirement. > I asked a question on here a long time ago in regard to web > servers and was told that apache may be the best one to use. > This question is more in regard to whether IIS is good enough > or whether i need to consider other factors.
