Nervermid. There are the same risk. Website on hosting or emulated apache on server side pc, is same sh*it.
Xampp on Server Side is simple website with a biggers security holes than webhosting.
- If you have bad website on webhosting, can be defased, stolen or hacked website.
- If you have bad website stored on Xampp on Server, can be defased, stolen info/files, deleted database, edit or get unilimited access to server. Why? Cuz xampp was designed for developers not for public use, so if you combine Windows Vulnerabilities with xampp unused things(Enabled or Disabled by default), true recipe for disaster.
- If you have "Secured" website on webhosting, maybe and just maybe, can be defased.
- If you have "Secured" website on Xampp Server, can be defased, stolen info/files, deleted database, edit or get unilimited access to server. Why? same reasons that before.
But? whats happening with AntiDoss , bla bla bla? Simple. If datacenter were good structured, have nice reputation and good protection, You don't have to worry 'bout website stability, cuz exist a lot of layers proteccion for simple/lammers users.
My Recomendation: Go and find some website hosting, investigate from hosting layer protections on most used website hosting with MSSQL Support.
