   -> You forget WinServer... which was pretty much built for the web.   
      
   Lot of negative can be spoken about WinServer, the cost, the support for   
   the bbs dos version, etc.  But as a WebServer it is fantastic and is   
   well supported and has been developed well over the years.   
      
   I use as my main web server and I still run the bbs even though that   
   portion has not been supported in years or any kind of update or   
   development.   
                                                              
   I bought the community version which was a two node system and have over   
   time purchased up to 12 nodes.  That initial cost was around 200.00,  I   
   was retired and had the money to invest.  No regrets. I do regret   
   spending so much on the annual subscription to get updates, but then   
   again the web portion actively being developed.   
      
   However as of late, it has slowed down to a crawl.  But the WinServer   
   web is strong also and very flexible in configuration.     
      
   My .02, hopefully I am not to bashed in the head to much.
