Hi all,
I plan to settle in the comimg months a web server to deliver many services to the trading community (I am myself a trader).
I daily use Arch as my system on my home box, and I must admit I am very satisfied by its strength and its very active and deep involved community. My plan is to first train building the website on a VM server, then go to a remote dedicated server.
Can you please give me some pro/against reasons for using Debian distro rather than Archlinux as a web server? Is there any provider offering Arch distro, as it seems it is hard, near impossible, to find one.
TY for your advises. I just want to add I am just a small level over the n00b status, let's say I am a n00b++, and learning Debian specificities can proove to be a waste of time.
Depending on the webapps you wish to run, some of them might be very unpleased not to meet the "usual" distros. Furthermore, administrating a production Arch web server might be in my own opinion a time consuming activity (regarding the rolling release aspect). Especially if (like most of admins) you prefer to test updates on a "PreProd" server before applying them on production one. You may probably have a look on the ArchServer project.
