Why use your own web server instead of a free one at your service provider? Here are some reasons:
- Control. When you run your own web server, you can change service providers, add a redundant internet connection, schedule your own backups, manage your own sites, and immediately change the content. It's your computer, your business, your web site.
- Security: An attack on your service provider's machines will not directly effect you. Using the proven Apache server on the highly secure OpenBSD system yields the most secure platform available today. If your web sites have no dynamic content, an even more secure server can be provided.
- Reliability. You can run backups on a schedule that works for your needs, including automatic mirroring of any and all of your web content to a second machine (perhaps located offsite) to ensure disaster recovery.
- Flexibility. If you want to have additional web sites, or to set up an additional domain name for a trial venture or special product, or have moderated mail lists, it is entirely your choice.
CoSysCo web servers are custom built to meet your requirements. Unless you will have a site with many simulataneous viewers, the hardware does not need to be the most advanced (and therefore expensive).
