For security reasons Larry says we should create certain folders outside of the "httpdocs" or main web directory. My web hosting company will not let me. This web hosting company is inexpensive, just about $48.00 a year for domain and all. I think I need to change because of the security concerns. Would you agree? If so is there some hosting companies that you suggest? Or can I set up an old XP computer or Win 98 to be a web server and it be as inexpensive to run? Thanks for your input.
