I'm looking into upgrading our Apache server to one that handles secure
connections.
Basically, that comes down to Stronghold or Netscape's Enterprise or
FastTrack Servers.
I understand Stronghold would be a drop in replacement, but does anyone
know of any problems or issues as regards changing to either of
Netscape's servers?

Why Netscape or Stronghold??
Why not use the SSLEAY patch to Apache and make the SSL security
available on apache server????
It is Free, You have to pay for Netscape and Stronghold.
It may take some configuration and recompilation but it is free?

Because people in that wonderful free country called the US can't
use SSL without a license from RSA.
Well, they can use SSLv3 with a different algorithm.

So host the commerce site in a country other than the USA and pick one with
a nice tax regime for your company. The entire planet is a matter of
milliseconds away from you.
As to SSLv3 and avoiding RSA - it probably doesn't avoid the SSL patent
recently granted to netscape, so you won't be using free SSL in the USA for
20 years.

Having compared the offerings of server hosts in the USA and here in
the UK it seems that in most cases comparable services are
considerably cheaper in the US, usually enough to offset the cost of
Stronghold. Also, US servers tend to respond better to pings sent from
various places around the world.
At least this is what I've observed.

UK connectivity is pretty good but I'd probably look elsewhere for the best
place to host secure sites - ones with nice tax laws, a good place to keep
all the money and very good connectivity. I host em in the UK because well
Im in the UK(ish)
Its becoming quite common to see stuff moving. A lot of the US online
gambling industry appears to be running from Prague for example
