Any Web Servers host ASP.NET besides IIS?

[stevensteven]

Hello,

I have just got a new computer and need to have a web server that can host asp.net pages.

1. I have XP Home Edition on my new machine, can I somehow make IIS available?

2. If not, are there any other web servers that can host asp.net pages?

Thanks

Steve

try WebMatrix, a free .net editing tool from Microsoft.

Just to let you guys know, this didn't completly work for me. I mean I did get IIS running in the end, but VS.NET 2003 had problems with IIS and would not allow to create and open projects. I also had problems with WebMatrix and my old ASP.net files.

I caved in and spent the $300 to upgrade my XP Home to XP Pro just so I can use IIS.

Thanks though guys.

Steve

Hi StevenSteven, sorry to upset you but XP Pro doesn't cost $300 if you buy the OEM version it is about $120.

Technically OEM is only allowed to be sold to you if you also buy a piece of equipment but 90% of stockists ignore this requirement and if they don't ignore it you just need to buy a $30 stick of RAM or somethin else 'integral' to the working of the machine.
