WebSite for Windows 95/NT -- This commerical release of
Windows HTTPD offers a ton of features not commonly found in
other web servers. In addition to a myriad of configurable settings,
a web 'quickstats' client, an image map editor, a web indexer, and a
server administration toolit are all right at your fingertips. While
Alibaba does offer some of WebSite's features, Alibaba simply
doesn't measure up when it comes to the overall quantity and
quality of features found in WebSite. In addition to extensive online
help documentation, when you purchase/register your copy of
WebSite, you will also receive a complete and detailed user's guide
for getting up and running with WebSite. Additional features for
WebSite include CGI scripting, extensive logging options, basic
level security and access control, and an intuitive, easy to use
interface. While WebSite is feature for feature perhaps the best web
server on the market, it should be noted that there is a price to be
paid for this presitge. At $249, this is not an app that fits into the
budget of all Internet users; for this reason, a careful examination of
the alternative servers available is one critically important tip that
you won't find listed in the WebSite manual.
Pros: Feature for feature, WebSite is one of the best web servers on
the market
Cons: Price is quite high, especially with freeware alternatives also
available
New: Lower prices for both regular ($249) and professional ($499)
versions
