Surely Apache is the most popular existing web server. Avoid IIS and generally Micro$oft!\nUse these sites to compare it with other web servers.\nhttp://www.serverwatch.com/stypes/compare/\nhttp://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/benchmarks.html\nhttp://litespeedtech.com/benchmark.html

Unix or Linux would be my answer.  Linux especially can be adapted for a network's server needs.

Usenet with Newsleecher.  I think newshosting.com is the best provider around, at least from my experience.

I use modwest.com.  Good prices, reliable servers, plus they actually KNOW something about PHP and MySQL.

Most probably internet.com

The best two that I use are:\nwebspawner and geocities

Opera is the fastest. Firefox is a lot of hype:\nhttp://mywebpages.comcast.net/SupportCD/FirefoxMyths.html

Need to be more specific...\n\nBest BPEL engine, best set of adapters, xml oriented, one could argue WebSphere Process Server here\n\nBest mediation / router well that will depend on what infrastructure you are already on.. and what your favorite programming language is.

WINDOWS:\nInternet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.\nOpera is becoming popular browser.  \nNetscape is based on Firefox but Firefox is much faster than Netscape.\n\nLINUX:\nMozilla Firefox and Konqueror.\n\nMAC OS X:\nSafari RSS.\n\nI found Avant Browser better than Firefox and IE as it takes less RAM, runs fast and include features found in Firefox.\n\nInternet Explorer 7 will soon be available.  This will include new features such as tab browsing and RSS Reader.  But it takes a lot of memory to run.

I'd most likely say the WWW still. Though many might not consider it as a service, it plunges us heads-on into the maze of evolutionary e-quotient so to speak.\n\nSites that are equally enticing are...\n\n1. http://www.netvibes.com/\n2. http://www.songbirdnest.com/\n3. http://www.zimbra.com/products/product_editions.html

Apache HTTP Server 2.0.55 is the most current version available for Windows based systems. You can get the binary or the source code and compile it yourself. Version 2.2.0 isn't available for Windows yet.

A popular one is Joomla (based on the original Mambo). Open-source (free; GPL liscense), clean interface, highly customizable. See sources below for link.\n\nRequires server with MySQL and PHP.\n\nEDIT: A quick check of the DEMO (privded through the site below) confirms that you can restrict registration.

Personally, I prefer Ubuntu. It's easy to use and very stable, for servers or for the desktop. I think there's even a version specific for servers, but I'm not sure on that.

The Apache HTTP Server Project is an effort to develop and maintain an open-source HTTP server for modern operating systems including UNIX and Windows NT. The goal of this project is to provide a secure, efficient and extensible server that provides HTTP services in sync with the current HTTP standards.\n\nApache has been the most popular web server on the Internet since April 1996. The November 2005 Netcraft Web Server Survey found that more than 70% of the web sites on the Internet are using Apache, thus making it more widely used than all other web servers combined.\n\nIBM HTTP Server \n  \n  \n Overview \n \n  The foundation of any e-business application is the Web server. New IBM e-business software, such as the WebSphere family of products, is designed to operate with many popular Web servers. You do not need to change Web servers to take advantage of the latest IBM Web application technology.\n\n \n IBM HTTP Server features include:   Easy installation \n  Support for SSL secure connections \n  Fast Response Cache Accelerator \n  IBM support as part of the WebSphere bundle \n  Hardware crypto support \n  Administration Server that helps to administer and configure IHS servers. \n  Help information that uses the easy-to-navigate design that is common to all WebSphere products \n  IBM HTTP Server runs on AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, Windows 2000 and Windows NT \n \n \nFeatures of the HTTP Server \nBoth HTTP Server (original) and HTTP Server (powered by Apache) have their own advantages, but which product should you choose? This tip provides a functional comparison about these products to help answer this question.\n\nIn addition, IBM plans for V5R2 to be the final release to support HTTP Server (original). IBM HTTP Server (powered by Apache) is the recommended solution for your Web serving needs. IBM plans for the HTTP Server (original) to be removed from IBM HTTP Server for iSeries in a future release.\n\nThis tip provides a good overview of the features and functions of the iSeries HTTP Server (powered by Apache) independent of the HTTP Server (original). This comparison is done at the OS/400 V5R2 versions of both the HTTP Server (powered by Apache) and HTTP Server (original). The Rochester lab created program temporary fixes (PTFs) for V5R1 for much of the HTTP Server (powered by Apache) functionality. In essence, this comparison is true for V5R1 with the exception of these features for which PTFs were not created:\n\n\n\nFast Response Cache Accelerator (FRCA)\n\nCollection Services performance data\n\nSupport for independent auxiliary storage pools (IASPs)\n\n \n. \nContents \n_ \n\n \nThe following information was extracted from HTTP Server (powered by Apache): An Integrated Solution for IBM ~ iSeries Servers, SG24-6716, which is currently a draft redbook (Redpiece). This redbook has more details and provides step-by-step instructions. \n\n\n\nHTTP Version 1.1 Both original and Apache Both products support HTTP Version 1.1 (written as HTTP/1.1). The HTTP protocol implementation in Apache was chiefly architected by one of the HTTP/1.1 authors. Most current versions of popular Web browsers support HTTP/1.1. Apache is normally configured to detect popular browsers that do not properly support HTTP/1.1, and use only HTTP/1.0. \n\n\n\nPersistent connections Both original and Apache When you enter a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) into your browser’s address line or click a link on a Web page, you open a connection between your browser and the HTTP server. Prior to the availability of persistent connections, each file referenced on the Web page was retrieved using a separate connection. This type of retrieval is tremendously costly for the HTTP server and the network since overhead is required to establish and terminate each connection. Persistent connections are the default behavior for an HTTP server that implements the HTTP/1.1 protocol. \n\n\n\nGUI configuration and administration Both original and Apache You can confi

I prefer PHP because it is very flexible and fairly easy to learn. I would avoid ASP because of all the security problems with IIS servers.

Powerful and fastest...  Internet Explorer, of course.    it has the real Microsoft Java and Microsoft ActiveX controls. \n\nBut if you want security, protection and use the world standard... then use FireFox.   It uses the standard java and has some really great features that Microsoft has not stolen yet. \n\nI recommend using FireFox for general browsing.   But use Internet Explorer only for websites that you know and trust.

As of March 2003 there were 39,174,349 servers on the internet.  There are probably many more now, if you want to check it out take a look at http://www.netcraft.com
