Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Dedicated Server : Everyone against NT?

[Rain]

Hi,
While browsing through this site I noticed that almost no one uses NT. Alabanza seems to be a huge reseller.. is there a NT equivalent? I am also looking for a NT host that will offer ~50 gigs/month, and a machine that can handle a decent amount of DB usage. Any suggestions?

I think that NT has security issues, that and some things must be done via the admin of the server (chmod files for example). Also while apache is free to use, NT is not, thus you *usually* see higher prices for NT plans. Seems to be leveling off and price isn't quite a factor as I had seen it in the past.

We offer a number of automation scripts on our NT servers to make our customers lives a little easier, account setup is about 4-5minutes, compared to a normal setup time of 20 minutes +

Stuff like directory structure, frontpage extensions, permissions are all done automatically by our scripts.
