Web server utility to host websites with multiple domain names from your PC.
KFWS (KeyFocus Web Server) is a free web server utility that allows you install, configure, and manage a web server from your computer and establish it as a local machine in order to host websites with multiple domain names and multiple ports.
After downloading an installing the application that is installed on your computer is an icon on the system tray, which allows you to start and stop the server, open the administration page, and statistics (you can also install the application as a Windows service to enhance the security level). All the parameters are only configurable from the local machine, although, you can change these parameters in order to configure the server through any web browser from any computer on the Internet.
The program supports two important standards: Hypertext Transfer Protocol 1.1 with gzip compression; and Common Gateway Interface 1.1 that allows you to work with PHP, PERL, Python, and other scripting languages. The CGI .exe programs designed to run directly are restricted due to the potential risks.

- There aren't any ads displayed on the sites you host with KF Web Server
Cons
- To use Active Server Pages (ASP) with KFWS you will need to download, install, and integrate ActiveHTML with KFWS
