Does anyone really uses G-WAN web server? [closed]

Question

Besides impressing benchmarks,

does anyone really uses G-WAN web server?

(except of cource gwan.ch and trustleap.com)

Answer 1

G-WAN is a freeware, that means that people are not under the obligation of paying a license to use it for commercial purposes.

Having participated to write some of their code, I am aware of Web sites using G-WAN for different applications platforms:

• auctions
• advertising
• yellow pages
• social network
• geographic maps
• multimedia streaming
• trading.

But this is merely my personal experience. I must say that G-WAN has allowed me to do things that could not be done with other servers like:

• using cheap virtual servers where I would have had to use dedicated servers
• using the same Web server to create applications in different languages
• creating applications which rely on different programming languages
• test code modifications without having to redeploy packages or modify configurations -etc.

G-WAN, at least for me, has been a game-changer.

I do not understand the comment of "Virtualeyes" since my customers did not pay a dime to the G-WAN author. I just paid him 149 CHF, not because I was obliged to do it but rather because I wanted to thank him for the hard work.

By the way, that's Linus Torvalds, not "Linus Torvolds".
