Re: hosting website on iSeries?

- The number one concern is security. But joe solution (firewall that let only 
port 80 in) should take care of that.

- Bandwith: Typically, ADSL offer more download than upload speed. But if you 
are your own ISP, you will generate more upload.

- you will most likely need a fixed public IP adress (this generally mean more 
$)

- Check your ADSL contract for charges for extra GB of transfer (this should go 
up)

- If the web site is made mostly of static pages, fine. If you use dynamic 
pages, you may need to rework the site.

- since it is a small company, the other potential problem (like too much 
traffic) should not be a concern.

I am asking this question on behalf of a small company with a model 270.  
They are currently connected to their ISP with a DSL line.  The ISP is 
hosting their website.  What are the pros and cons of moving the website to 
the iSeries?

I know that the standard recommendation is to use a separate system (or a 
partition) for your website, but they won't be doing that.  They are 
considering running their whole show on just one box.

Thanks in advance,
