Heres something alot of developers dont consider today! How secure is your website? As for me I have hardware on my servers actually doing the security for me, but what about content? Someone could steal my images or other information!!
Heres some advice:
-Use Apache Web Server as you main http server, since it can be configured and set up in almost any way to fit your needs.
-Learn how to edit you Apache config file to make changes.
-Add "option -indexes" to your config file to disable internet users from viewing directories without an index file.
-Turn off server signatures so no version type or additional info regarding the server can be displayed.
-Use htaccess to autenthicate users and create logins.
-Use Linux or windows to run your webserver, I use linux.
-Block all ports except the port your server runs on such as 80.
-Use password protected flash content this way it cant be imported or edited.
