Don't you think that LAMP rocks!!! For the "What's Open Source?" type of guys, LAMP is the acronym for the free and open source web hosting based on Linux Apache server MySQL and PHP. So, vote below and make sure that you drive out the others from contention and bring in Open Source, FreeWare and LAMP.

Hey mind you.... there's a difference between FreeWare and Free Software/Open Source software.... FreeWare can be proprietary and its source code may not be available to you.... hope you understand the differences...

I agree. That is why I have been using the term FREEDOMWARE in place of the word free software.

@firestarter .. that's true.. and you know what majority of commercial webservers running on windows ( mainly IIS )provides very bad service, irrespective of the companies..... ;)
