HiFi’s Optimal ExpressionEngine Install
Josh Lockhart at HiFi posted a great article about their optimal ExpressionEngine installation. He talks about why they chose ExpressionEngine for certain types of sites, how they set it up, and what add-ons they use. He even gets into security, optimizing performance and deployment. It’s a really nice well-rounded article that covers a lot of ground.
It’s pretty neat to see a post like this from a company that built its own hosted CMS:
When our clients need a self-hosted content management solution, we rely on ExpressionEngine. As people who obviously have strong opinions on content management, we respect the way EE works and the ideas behind it.
Very cool! It’s a great read, I highly recommend checking it out. What do you think? Does this article teach you anything or fly in the face of your surefire best practices? Let us know in the comments.

Placing the directory above the webroot was perhaps the best thing there.
I picked up the Securing Expression Engine 2 ebook recently and Mark Huot (who wrote the book) recommends the same thing!
