   ->   
   ->-> 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.
