Internet & Networking "There's far more to the world of Web servers than just Apache and IIS. While lightweight Web servers have much in common, there's also variation within the category. Most are written in C, but several other implementation languages have proven successful among the servers with which I've experimented, including Erlang, Java, Lisp, Lua, Perl, Python, and Tcl. If there's a language you favor, you can probably find a lightweight Web server here coded for your convenience. survey the possibilities and see how they apply to you."

"There's far more to the world of Web servers than just Apache and IIS."

That's right. Apache and IIS are not only available heavyweight web servers out there. Sun Java System Web Server is highly scalable web server aimed at large workloads and it has been recently open sourced under the name 'Open Web Server'.

I use the Sun Java System Web Server and it's an excellent product and my preference at this point in time.
