Picking A Webserver

[JayC]

No Noobs Please,

So the computers in my class are setup like this:

Each computer is ran off of server computer. With this server we could install a web server on the main server, but it could cause a lot of lagg or such on computers we don't need it on. So instead we are going to install it on the individual computers we need it on.

So if we have the main server:
[Computer]
|
|
[Main] --- [Computer]
|
|
[Computer]

Only the red ones would have the web server installed to reduce lagg. These machines would be capable of holding:
- IIS
- Xampp
- Wamp

I wasn't sure which one is the best to use. I have used IIS and Xampp. I like Xampp but its highly configured and for beginners it's not the best. IIS is smooth and I like the quick installation but someone said Wamp was a nice and very easy to setup Web Server

Which is better? IIS or WAMP?

None of the above, I am a fan of Nginx (pronounced engine ex) - lightweight and speedy. Perfecto.

If you want to go lightweight, go for Lampp. Wins every time.

I'd go for LAMPP or nginx, both lightweight and fast, however if you're willing to pay for a web server I'd go for litespeed.
