"Big Things Come in Small Packages"
Version: Abyss Web Server 2.5
Pros
Cheek-pinching cute web server with amazing characteristics. I was loyal to the XAMPP server package, but after I found Abyss is almost 450 times smaller in size (900kb against 425mb) with the same extensibility, I was tempted to ditch XAMPP completely. It also boasts a simple web interface with straightforward documentation for the newbies testing the waters.
Cons
It seems to restrict the number of supported hosts to just one. It doesn't affect me, but team developers might find this a crippling blow.

"A great program (X1)"

Easy to install - worked the first time. Clearly written help. With the help files I was able to install PERL and PHP both of which also worked correctly the first time. An awesome product (X1) and it is free.

"simply awesome!"
Version: Abyss Web Server 2.5
Pros
I have been using this server since 2005 for all my web development stuff and I have never felt the need to go look for another option. My complain back them was that in order for me to run ASP.NET, I needed to use something else. They have added support now and I felt more in love with this small server. It's fast, reliable, understandable; and the people from Aprelium keep on working everyday to make it better. Back in 2005 I had to read all the tutorials to enable support for server side scripting. now they offer packed version that install easier. Maybe this peace of software don't offer all the glamour of the very popular Appache server, but is perfectly suitable for my testing and my small traffic websites.
Thanks you guys!
Cons
I have no complaints, I thinks is good bargain..get all of that for free :)
