Julie, doesn't your hosting company offer password protection? Most hosting companies that have protection software running don't charge you for overages caused by the failure of their software. I know that we don't.

I'm not up to speed on either software you mentioned, as we use our own proprietary software on our servers. But I believe that to install "Password Sentry" you need root access on your server. It is an actual Apache module, and needs root install (I may be wrong). Not many hosting companies will give that sort of access to anyone.

Pennywize is the easier of the two to have set-up, but much more expensive as you are paying a monthly fee versus a one-time charge.

You don't want to run both together.

Check with your hosting company, and on their policies of running this type of protection.
I know my host does have one but more security is never too much... but since you tell me that about password sentry, I guess we better go with pennywize.
