Apache vs. IIS

What is better? Apache or IIS and which would be best for hosting solutions in certain cases.

 

Are you thinking of running apache on windows?

If you don't need ASP or .NET and its a choice from apache for linux or IIS for windows I'd take linux hands down. However if its a choice of apache or IIS on windows, I don't have a clue to be honest.

Its Linux apache vs. Windows IIS and which is faster to setup accounts for people for hosting solutions without using cPanel.

 

I would 100 percent go with apache on linux every time personally.

 

lol, i got into a fight with my co-worker over IIS and apache and he said IIS is easier to do mutliple domains with but i told him Apache for linux and yeah.

 

I actually have my MCSE and managed IIS servers for about 4 years. My 4 personal servers are all linux/apache if that tells you anything.

 

It seems people who say things like that about IIS don't have a good grip on what the command line is all about.

 

I guess people feel that it is Easier but I find it more complicated.
