iis6 or apache

Hi all,

Currently i am running my few sites on a linux based sever that i rent from someone. they are all php nuke.

I have a dedicated server which i use for game reselling. I want to move the sites over to the game server which is windows 2003.

do i run iis6 and install php and mysql?

or do i install apache?

I would also like someone to please recommend a cpanel, pleask helm etc to run under one of these environments as im confused of which kind i would need depending on the configuration.

This is kind of new to me so please bare with me.

Thanks in advance for your time.

I can tell you for certain that Raven will answer with "Apache". Hands-down.

What I am not certain of is cpanel. I know he uses it, just don't know enough to comment further on it.

I prefer Cpanel, but Plesk will do as well. They are quite full-featured... but alas, I have not installed it myself. It is great for reselling webspace though.
