I'm looking for a Personal web server to host very light traffic meant for home use only.

What is your take on personal web servers that meet some or most of the criteria below?

  • Free/Open source
  • Runs on Windows and possibly Linux (Ubuntu)
  • Very light on resources
  • No installation required or standalone file
  • Admin console - GUI or Web based
  • Supports multiple hosts/port mappings

I have tried Abyss who's standard edition is free but limited to one host only. I've seen lite speed, haven't tried though XAAMP is another one I'm considering...

You can also look at MicroApache. Very small, free and open source, no install required.

Have you tried Amahi Home Server? It runs off of Fedora 12, but a Ubuntu version is coming pretty soon.
