IIS security

[kev01]

I have rented a dedicated web server - I am using IIS 6.0 on Windows 2003 server. The hosting company does not provide me with any security features and I'm very concerned of the security of my web server.

How can secure my web server?

thanks in advance,
kev

Is the W3K server at your location on your network or is it on the hosting company's network?

From a default install, IIS 6.0 is configured in complete lockdown mode, meaning it will ONLY serve static HTML content, every thing else needs to be enabled.
