Why Some Website Owners Still Use IIS for WordPress
While primarily associated with Microsoft Windows servers, IIS (Internet Information Services) remains the choice for some WordPress site owners due to legacy system support, corporate standards, or challenges in migrating to more commonly supported infrastructure. IT admins familiar with the Microsoft ecosystem often find IIS more intuitive and manageable.
Dealing with Compatibility and Security Issues on WordPress with IIS
Running WordPress on IIS involves unique hurdles. Though WordPress is optimized for Apache, it functions on IIS with the right tweaks. Yet, compatibility issues can arise, especially with plugins and themes that expect a typical LAMP stack environment. These discrepancies can affect functionality, complicate troubleshooting, and limit community support.
Security poses another significant challenge; standard on-access malware scans might not recognize web-based malware, and many WordPress security plugins aren’t thoroughly tested on IIS, affecting their detection accuracy and reliability.
