Good Server

Pros: Works well, gets your files published. Great Wizard

Cons: As far as I can tell you can't run it as a service.

Works Great, Here's help getting on the web

Pros: To see your page you need to make sure port 80 or the port you've designated is open through your firewall, router, to the outside world.

Look for a port prober online to see whether the port you're using is indeed open.

If you have multiple computers on your home network you will need to set up your router to forward the port to the ip address of the computer that the server is set up on.

To see your page you need then to plug in your external ip address in your browser that can be found at a site like ipchicken.com

If you purchased a static ip from your isp it won't change otherwise it will vary over time depending on the settings of your isp(internet service provider).

If you wan't to have something like mypage.com you can goto dyndns.com or no-ip.com and if you follow their directions get your site on the web even with a dynamic(changing ip address) with no or little cost depending on what you want it to do.

If this isn't straight forward you can look at my site. emeraldweb.gotdns.com if you catch it up of course. I tinker with it at times.

Cons: I wish you could have different security permissions unique to each folder you select to be available, not just having one id and password for everything.
