Xitami has a known crashing problem with heavy server usage when the FTP
server is enabled.  Xitami also has a serious DoS/DDoS issue with large
numbers of CGIs running under Windows (and slows to a crawl with heavy CGI
usage under Linux).

The solution is to get a dedicated FTP server.  The FTP server in Xitami is
not meant for heavy-duty use and tends to crash the server.  Xitami without
FTP is very stable, but you need to be picky in the CGI arena (e.g. PHP)
till that gets fixed.

Hope this helps!
