Random Tip

Which Hosting Account?

If you had asked me that question a year ago I would not have hesitated. It would have been Windows Server using IIS. However, in my view things are changing. More and more I am turning to Apache and Linux. Why? Well mainly it's my recent love affair with Wordpress which definitely works better under Apache in my view, mainly because of Permalinks.

IIS cannot handle url rewriting out of the box and does not work with .htaccess natively. So you need some form of plug in/add on.

So, if you need to rewrite your urls (especially for Wordpress), then I would always go down the Apache road. However, if you really need to use Windows based servers then you can always install URL Rewrite Module 2.0 (for IIS7) or the brilliant Helicon Isapi Rewrite 3 or their new Helicon Jet packages which are both under $100!

I have to say Helicon have a fantastic support service and will help you on any Regex writing problems you have with their package.
