[Xitami] WWW Xitami

[Joe Byrne]

Doug,
    Cable companies are notorious for locking you into their way of
thinking.  ISP who offer DSL on the other hand generally understand the user
mind set.  Part of my business is offering access via DSL and we have a
large number of companies running web, email, ftp, IRC servers .... just to
name a few.
    I would strongly argue your reasoning about Xitami however.  With modern
software, just because there is no license fee doesn't make the product
inferior.  In fact, I have contracts in excess of $45,000 p/month for
ecommerce web hosting....ALL of which run on 3 servers using Xitami.  I had
MS IIS for awhile, but keeping up with security patches and doing the
necessary housekeeping to keep the damn things running 24x7 became a
full-time job.  To be honest, one of my Web servers (running on Win2k
professional) hasn't been touched for 6 weeks now.  That's a big deal to me.
I know I could run it on *nix and probably not touch them for multiple
months on end, but I also write custom software that only runs on the Win32
system.
