Re: [development] What is the best web server to host drupal, (like Apache, Apache Tomcat, etc) as far as performance, security?
Just for reference (having come from a JSP/Servlet background), Tomcat is purely Apache's JSP container with just enough webserver to run standalone. Even if you were using Tomcat, if you were going to production you'd run the container in a full blown Apache httpd with httpd passing jsp/servlet requests off to the tomcat container. Anthony.
Although if we're talking about hosting :p... I've been happy with a $9.95 shared host on Hostgator for a number of smaller installs and recently got myself one of their VPS offerings and have been very happy with the support and the performance. Looking at the price points I think you get a little bit more server than Linode but like Linode it's very hands on but you get ssh access so you can get everything you need using wget and yum.
