I'm thinking about purchasing an Apple Xserve to use as a web server
for my home business. Part of my business involves hosting several
different websites, and I'm trying to find information/suggestions
from anyone who may have faced a similar challenge.
Most of what I host runs just fine on Apache on Linux (specifically, a
LAMP setup), so it will migrate easily to OS X (I've already
duplicated my hosting environment on a Macbook Pro for development).
However, I will have a need to host some ASP .NET web sites as well.
I've used the Mono project in the past, but from my experience the
open-source community just doesn't have the demand to keep up with
Microsoft's advancements in .NET, specifically in terms of supporting
2.0 and various new features.
Does anyone know of any server-class products that will run on OS X
for the purpose of hosting ASP .NET websites, or using .NET code in
general? If not, and I'm forced to host the .NET sites on a Windows
server, does anyone know of any server-class products for virtualizing
Windows on OS X? I have experience with Parallels on my laptop, and
it works great for my local-machine needs, but hosting a virtual
machine (or possibly multiple virtual machines) for production server
purposes is another story entirely.
If anyone has any advice or suggestions, I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you.
Running ASP.NET applications on OS X using Mono:

Another approach would be to run the Windows sites on a Windows Server
2003 box behind a firewall?which could easily be the OS X server. That
way you can strictly control the traffic that gets there.
