Apache, thus making it more widely used than all other web servers
combined.

Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows. According to Cygwin Official Site (http://www.cygwin.com), GNU + Cygnus + Windows = cygwin. Following information is taken from cygwin official site, as it is,
Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows. It consists of two parts:
- DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a Linux API emulation layer providing substantial Linux API functionality.
- A collection of tools, which provide Linux look and feel.
What Isn't Cygwin?
- Cygwin is not a way to run native linux apps on Windows. You have to rebuild your application from source if you want it to run on Windows.
- Cygwin is not
a way to magically make native Windows apps aware of UNIX ®
functionality, like signals, ptys, etc. Again, you need to build your
apps from source if you want to take advantage of Cygwin functionality.
Cygwin Installation is presented here with emphasis on web server requirements.

For personal webpage owners who wants flexibility as well as cheap
option, great way is to host server at home. But it involves working
with multiple tools if site uses powerful features. SVTechie.COM is
perfect example of a personal site which is as powerful and feature
rich as any commercial web site (Except few visits and bandwidth
requirements). Only two kind of web hosting services are available out
there, "very costly and feature rich" or "cheap with limited resources"
at disposal. This has forced me to adventure into unkown world of web
hosting & server where it can be cheap and at the same time feature
rich!! Stay Tuned for Updates.
Any question regarding this can be discussed at SVTechie forum.
