solutions for web hosting server

[Dan Catana]

Thanks to all for replay.

I have experience with linux,  when I tell about iptables to use for 
firewall is because I use for firewall in linux world. I don't have 
experience with BSD and I don't now what exactly  I  must use  for my 
server.

I like to make a web server for company clients with freeBSD, where they 
can put the content of their web site on the server via ftp ( I will 
test pure-ftpd )or other method.

Why Mysql ? Because most of my client use mysql.

How can not merge functions about security and end-users ? :)

Thanks to all again for all help.
