What kind of system required for hosting asp.net?

[white lightning]

Hi all,

I'm not sure if I am posting this in the right forum. Anyway, I'll
try.

The company where I work is going to have a new online sales /
marketing system developed in asp.net (not quite sure yet if the
development is being done in Vbscript or C#). I come from PHP
background and I need to know about a bit of hosting requirements for
asp.net. We are thinking of hosting in-house. I think the database is
ms-sql. It is a fairly large system.

Can you tell me where I should begin? What kind of system requirements
are necessary for hosting asp.net? Basically I need to know about
system admin perspective.

Thanks

MS IIS + ASP.NET framework (1.1 or 2.0 or 3.0), that's it.

Hello white,

I'd recommend Windows 2003 Server (IIS6), we have numbers of web servers
under it. Performance and reliability are really good.
BTW, look at Vista with IIS7 (http://www.iis.net/News/Item.aspx?i=1316) extensibility
is really outstanding.
Read about IIS7 features and Vista editions there http://www.iis.net/default.aspx?tabi...abid=25&i=1100
