Anybody know a nice, good, free web server?

You can go with netzero, but you only get 10 hours free a month

Am talking about the servers that I can host my own site with since I have cable now :)

Try www.spaceports.com . Last i was there it was still free, and you get 10mbps, once you fill that up you can request more(within reason).

I think what he means is an actual webserver program.

I've used Apache on Windows and Linux, but for getting up and runninng quickly on Windows, go for BadBlue. It's free like Apache, real easy to set up, has built-in peer-to-peer networking ability, can be set up to parse PHP easily, and is pretty powerful, fast, and small.

I've used BadBlue for clients when they don't want to use Linux for some mystic reason... I can use Apache on Windows too, but it's still not as secure as the Linux version (although with a good firewall configuration, that pretty much seals it up...).

Features that BadBlue brags about:
- Let others search your machine (for only the files and folders you specify) instantly
- Search other machines for their shared files
- Publish your own web site, running on your machine
- Learn, develop and deploy HTML, PHP, CGI, ISAPI and other web technologies
- Preview Access, Excel and Word data into HTML live
- Lets you password-protect your files

Can't beat it for the price! Free!

Yep, I use BadBlue to test my PHP before I upload it to Nadrew.com
