So it goes..

This part of the site aims to provide the beginner and not-so-beginner with lots of useful information, tools, resources and guidance along the lines of running a web server, or a site on someone else's server. If you are a web master, or want to be, you will probably find something useful here.

If you are just a regular mortal with a vague idea that there's a shit-load of power available for free if only you could harness it, you've come to the right place.

This place's real reason d'etre is to spread the idea that a web server, running on an inexpensive box somewhere in your home or organisation, is a hugely useful and powerful resource, and provide the tools to prove it. More and more, applications are moving to the web interface and with Apache (or a similar quality web server, not IIs) at your disposal, you can create all manner of useful, functional, powerful applications with relative ease. Or just download mine!
