5.0 out of 5 stars If you want to run a website, you have to have this kit, August 19, 2005

By	videomann "Ted" (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews

I've been looking for a a way to host my own web site, and didn't know where to start. Everything I looked at was too complicated, and there was no support, but this kit has everything I needed, AND they provide 100% free support! The web server software installed in less than 2 minutes and ran right out of the box. Once I registered my domain name (there's even a break on price ordering it through kit), my site was up and running. I highly recommend this to newbies and veterans alike who need everything in one kit--web & e-mail server and shopping cart.

4.0 out of 5 stars Complete Web Hosting Kit-Almost, October 17, 2005

By	Elysse Mora (Albuquerque, NM) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Everything about the product was as advertised, except the instructions. There seem to be some holes in the information provided, and certain assumptions made about the operating systems and applications. I have tried to set up the e-mail server and have run into some problems. The website authoring software needs to have some better user interface. Still trying to resolve those, but for the price, this is a good product.

Great book for starters, but kind of lengthy for others.
