If you need it "desparately" BUY IT!\nIt comes as part of Server 2003

ISA Server 2004 :\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/isaserver/default.mspx\n\nhttp://www.isaserver.org/\n\nThe 2nd one is more of a resource site but the first one is what you need ( Im sure there are other options such as squid which works on linux or smoothwall )\n\nAlso sourceforge.net have an interface for squid so that may be worth while checking out as its open source.

Apache http://www.apache.org\n\nBut I wouldn't recommend using either one of those environments for a server. Go for Linux or Unix-based server.

Get started at\nhttp://www.cafepress.com\n\nYou can rent a secure server from\nhttp://www.1and1.co.uk\nThey start at £80 a month though.

Unix or Linux would be my answer.  Linux especially can be adapted for a network's server needs.

Microsoft!!! No!!!\n\nthere are very cheap and relaible solutions in the market as compared to Microsoft here's what I am talking about\n\nMicrosoft Advance Server | Red Hat Linux 8\nMicrosoft IIS___________| Apache HTTP 2\nMicrosoft SQL Server____| MySQL\nMicrosoft ASP.NET_____| Java Server Faces\n\nand so on!\nbut one thing is for sure Microsoft is easy to use while the other technologies can provide with some trouble in installation.

I suggest Red Hat Fedora Core 4 OS.\n\n"ISPs in the area have all been "Shell access? Go away, please," for years."\n\nTrue and they should be if they care about the security on their shared-use servers.  I suggest to go with a dedicated or virtual-dedicated server.  Virtual-dedicated is a new technology out there that allows the affordability of a shared server with the useability of a dedicated server.  Admin access allows you to have root level access and install and run virtually anything on the server.\n\nSee the Virtual Dedicated hosting offer here http://www.xmlwebhost.com/web_hosting.php

unreal streaming server, quicktime streming server (darwin streaming server) all will work, not sure about legality/fees for professional use

Just about any PC, with a network adapter and a network capable operating system, can run server software and become a server. \nThere are many types of server software; Windows file and printer sharing, FTP, web, mail, DHCP, DNS etc...\nIf you wish to build a dedicated, robust server then reliability and data backup should be the prime concerns.\n\nIMHO 8-)

It depends on what you want to do, and what you want to share. \n\nFor users, I always recommend Windows, since there are many many applications that you can run.  But maintain your computer.  Remove unused programs and delete useless files.  Keep your SpyWare under control, and your Anti-virus software running and updated.   Configure your firewall as needed.  \n\nFor Web applications, I prefer a Linux server.   The software is much cheaper, and security is handled better.  I simply don't rent, or recommend Windows servers for web use.  (Although I am currently working on an ASP application).   \n\nOf course, I agree that Macs have the best PRINT graphic applications... PERIOD. \n\nGood luck

define "largest server"... most space? fastest?  once you get up to "really friggin big", they start to specialize with what the server does- and they dont just use one, they have arrays of servers that they string together to make supercomputers... refining your question would help

vmware is the good choose.\nwhen you run it follow the steps it is very easy to use

Just looked at their website.This is an 'all-in-one ' package which may suit a greenfield development but if you are having to integrate with other middleware? Tomcat/JBOSS/Websphere/Microsoft MTS/.NET?.It's all very well using grids,parallelism and clustering , but you still have the page-lock or contention problem , i.e. what if 2 processes are after the same part of the DB? They have a Caching Edition , but this only postpones the problem . If you have less than 100 TPS then your usually OK with a single instance of MySQL. Any more than that and you start haibg to think a bit. ( take a look at the Oracle performance tuning sites , lots theree about disk / cache / processor configuring).

Probably nothing that you don't already have. Just about any computer these days can function as a server. What exactly are you trying to do? Please let me know and I'll provide more specific info.

There's no one answers to that question. What is important to you? When you say you don't need anything too fancy, obviously that means you're not out looking for a dual processor server. But it doesn't tell me much else.\n\nIf you're looking for something relatively inexpensive, but with reasonable support and service, there's always Dell. They've got a good lineup of options and you can basically design your own system online, and then order it.

I use modwest.com.  Good prices, reliable servers, plus they actually KNOW something about PHP and MySQL.
