Anyone host WSE 2.0?

Any security / perfomance considerations. Cant seem to find any hosts that support it.

Well, you can ask your hosting provider to install it for you on your dedicated server.

We run our own servers.. Thats why Im asking.

I don't know of any security problem with MS WSE 2.0, you can safely install them on your servers.

Thanks ferox, seems like not many people run it at all!

One thing to remember is that WSE is not something that you generally install unless you have a need for it. Lately I've been using it relatively extensively but most teams in my group don't use it at all.

In terms of opening things up, I don't believe that it opens up any additional security holes. WSE only runs when it is configured and on the endpoints that it is configured for so it should be no different than any other Framework library.

You are welcome. :) But remember the point raised by banner : Don't install it (actually it goes true for literally everything) if you don't need it.
