  Big Things Come in Small Packages

  by: Sinquisition on 18-Mar-2008 04:16:57 PM

  Pros: Cheek-pinching cute web server with amazing characteristics. I was loyal to the XAMPP server package, but after I found Abyss is almost 450 times smaller in size (900kb against 425mb) with the same extensibility, I was tempted to ditch XAMPP completely. It also boasts a simple web interface with straightforward documentation for the newbies testing the waters.

  Cons: It seems to restrict the number of supported hosts to just one. It doesn't affect me, but team developers might find this a crippling blow.

  Easy and Powerful

  by: kenconk on 23-Sep-2007 02:48:54 AM

  Pros: This web server is not a memory-hog, and offers some security features that others don't. Installing is a breeze, and configuring things like PERL scripts is easy with the on line manual

  Pros: Never in my life have I been so impressed, It's hard to sum up. I can say for once that this software is 100% trustworthy and installs in seconds. It amazes me every second as I always learn something new. The features are beyond any software and its FREE. not a free demo... it's free and has no spyware or adware. It's easy and makes your cut's your expenses with other companies. Now everyone can host their own servers... on almost any computer.

  Cons: Everything was great and it's 100% free as it promises, you have all features. The thing I dislike is if you want to double everything and start more than one server you do have to purchase it. Normal companies even big ones have only one server. It's a very small dislike.

  Great Web Server

  by: joshblaine on 03-Apr-2008 11:20:05 PM

  Pros: Easy to use. Small Footprint indeed.

  Cons: Only supports one host. Looks like this free version X1 is to get you to buy their X2 version that supports multiple hosts.
