Talk:Setting up a Server

I agree with merging this page with Home server. This page is for a public server accessible from the internet, Home server is for a private server accessible from within the owner's LAN. I think the articles can be seamlessly integrated as the information they provide is mostly the same. --Eva-02 (talk) 21:17, 13 February 2014 (EST)

I have a NAS4Free server, and I have my own VPS. They bear almost zero resemblance to each other in terms of how they are set up. In fact, I think the only thing they have in common is a http server (NAS4Free is mostly configured through a web interface). You could consolidate it into one ginormous page, I guess, but to what end? Toynbeeidea (talk) 21:52, 13 February 2014 (EST)

I propose splitting this article. The stub at the bottom labeled "Setting Up Email and web server, the EASY way" should be merged with Home server and the rest of the article should be pushed into its own article on "server security". The vast majority of this article is simply hardening for dumbos. --Durandal (talk) 09:42, 16 February 2014 (EST)

I think this article should just be renamed "Securing a server" and then a link directing to this page should be added to the warning message on Home server. The Home Server page has plenty of info on setting up a server. --Moistcake (talk)
