Please recommend FrontPage Hosting with a Database

[Guest]

From what I can gather, Unix host servers are more secure from hacking,
Windows host servers are less secure. Yet I'm learning that it's difficult to
host FrontPage on a Unix server and connect to mySQL. So, I would have to
find Windows hosting and connect to an MS Access database, even though it's
not as secure. Can anyone recommend a Windows Web host that is inexpensive,
and provides SSL, MSAccess, FrontPage Extensions and Password protected
directories and good support, preferably 24/7? Thanks.

Not necessarily.

Yes.

Don't get hung up on this "not as secure" thing. A well-
administered Windows server will be more secure than a
poorly-administered Unix server, and vice versa.

Can anyone recommend a Windows Web host that is
inexpensive, and provides SSL, MSAccess, FrontPage
Extensions and Password protected directories and good
support, preferably 24/7? Thanks.
