Q: What are the choices to set up a web server?  R: There are 2 ways of setting up a web server: your own web server or a rented space thru an ISP (Internet Service Provider). Q: How safe is a web server? R: The security was given a special attention, since many of us don't feel comfortable to connect our data server to the internet. With both hardware and software firewalls correctly installed to your web server, it makes almost impossible to any intruder to invade your web server. Considering security as priority for ecommerce, Softrela offers 2 different settings: - one "physically" separated web server from your data server, and used to only download and upload functions to update both servers every certain interval of time. - another connected directly which provides convenience of everything on real time without going thru uploads and downloads.
