Absolutely. &nbsp;If you've used Apache before, it should be pretty straightforward. &nbsp;You'll need Windows XP SP1, though. &nbsp;You can see more notes about installing on Windows XP here: <a href="http://apache.mirror.cygnal.ca/httpd/binaries/win32/README.html" rel="ugc">http://apache.mirror.cygnal.ca/httpd/binaries/win32/README.html</a>.

Hi friends,<br />

As IIS 5 on Windows XP will not support multiple websites and host headers, I need to look at another web server. What free webservers are there out there that I an host several websites and domains on?<br />

Hosting multiple websites on a Windows XP Box

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
