I am studying the platform that I will use for my project. Part of this is a very basic .NET website. I wanted to get Amazon EC2 hosting for it, and I see that the lunux host will cost me half as much as the windows. I also feel that with Linux I can get more out of hardware than with Windows. So, I thought that if I make my website under Mono, I can post it cheaper. Now my questions are:
Is Mono a stable enough platform for hosting websites? By stable, I mean: errors, crashes, security problems. In other words, is this enough to host a website for production?
Which web server is suitable for my network? I always hear "apache", but it is a big bloated platform designed for heavy duty networks. My model will be - one EC2 host = one website. Isn't that an excess? Are there other alternatives that are lightweight and stable?
Is there any example of a successful website running on Mono? What is their setup?
