Good list of questions, Bob! I'd like to add a few more items to consider...
-Does the application need MIT certificates to operate?
-Does the application database reside on the web server machine, or
elsewhere?
-What level of traffic is expected for this application? (Tens of
hits a day? Tens of thousands?)
See you on Friday...
