Our servers run on IIS, it is very simple to set up and use. At first we were sure we had made the right move but to be honest it is so easy to run that it is beginning to trouble me. I know almost nothing about how web servers function, it's just point and click, which was fine when we started.

Our business relies on being able to serve web pages, without that we are dead in the water. We are not a "multi-billion dollar company" just a micro set up who all the same will do a 7 figure sum this year, I just wish I'd looked at the alternatives in the beginning, when we had time.

Internally we have gone platform independent, Mac, Linux and Windows machines all co-exsist in the office. As time goes on we are slowly but surely moving over to open source software, developing our own in house browser based apps that can be accessed from any platform. The main reason COST, we are as small-time as you can get but we estimate we will save a min of $30,000 this year.
