Best Webhosting software, whats your opinion?

Doing some research into webhosting software interested in creating a website, any reviews i could get about different software would be helpful - thanks

 

what are you ultimately trying to accomplish?

 

Are you looking for info on web servers, or html editors.. or what?

 

Yea webhosting mainly, I can write html somewhat - but im looking to purchase a domain and run it on my computer and i dont want to pirate software anymore - so with the problem of 'buying' software i want to know what people think is the best.

 

no one has an opinion about webhosting software?

 

if you're going with open source software to avoid having to pay money for webhosting software use

apache
http://httpd.apache.org/

because unless you have Windows Server version then your Windows Pro workstation is limited to 10 IIS connections.

Hope this helps.

 

Apache is good, you'll probably want PHP and MySQL if you want to do any server side scripting, both of which are open-source and free.

Apache does take a bit more setting up than IIS, but its pretty good performing when you get it running

Either that or you shell out the money for Win 2k3 server.
