Web hostings - EVERYONE who uses Apache - Step Inside Please!

So I stumble across this graph... what is the deal with Zeus and if it's so great, why isn't every hosting provider offering it?

Because it is not free and few customers will spring for it.

So no hosting provider would spring for a virtual server using ZEUS and offset the costs that way to show how much better it is? I'm sure once a few customers had a taste of its performance, which offset the amount of hardware you would require - they would want a dedicated box with it installed

i know of a few that use lighspeed which is another alternative to apache similar to zeus but lightspeed dont like adult sites so you will never hear about it.

yes it is but most people rather spend the $60-$100 a month or whatever it costs on more ram or a quicker cpu

Couple hundred actually.... but still. That's way too steep considering the alternative.

i doubt any hosts that post here offer it since most people are used to apache and it being free and wont spend $$$$$ on a webserver.

Maybe for mainstream, but for adult there are not enough $$$ left on the table to even consider it.

Maybe Dreamhost could ....

and I once offered virtual accounts on a box with http://www.lighttpd.net/ , and got so much headaches that I took it offline.

Headaches were not from the software, but from a few clients that were always bitching.

We are not going to re-invent the wheel ....

So, if we added it to a virtual server, would you be willing to pay more?
