Hello:

I'm in need of a secure server for my RedHat Linux server, Apparently, a SSL certificate doesn't do any good if I don't have a secure server installed.

Anyone know of any besides Stronghold ($995.00!!!! AHH!!).

Thanks.

I dont know much about this.. but..

What kind of Security Are you looking for?

Just a FireWall?


Sorry if this is stupid, im pretty 'in the dark' about most server admin issues.

Hehe...no need to apologize. You need a secure server to transfer data from a person's web browser to the server....or so I'm led to believe. =)

ah thats what you mean.
i thought you meant securing the whole server.

in which case, i thought all you needed was an SSL to secure browser --> server interaction.
Like for example on an order page.

I guess i need an answer as much as Viceroy does :D
