The Top Web Servers in the Market - iPlanet Web Server

iPlanet Web server is the latest offering from the people who brought you the Netscape Web server. It is secure and offers flexibility, such as Java Servlet capabilties. It is a very popular Web server for enterprises.

Roxen Web Server

Roxen Web server is a free, open-source Web server similar in features to Apache. It offers many of the features that Apache offers, but it is primarily a tool to get you to buy other Roxen products. It has good integration with the Roxen site tools, but those are not cheap, and most of the advanced functionality of the server requires that you buy them.
 

Jigsaw

Jigsaw is not a server meant for enterprise-level Web sites. But if you are interested in playing with cutting-edge technologies on your Web server, then this is the server to get. Jigsaw is a free, Java-based Web server with applet-based administration tools that make it easy to use. It is meant to showcase the latest technologies, and because of this it can be less stable than other commercial servers.

Sambar Server

It is very difficult to find a server that is both free and this easy to use and install. The Sambar Server supports a wide variety of applications, and if you want more functionality, you can program your own APIs in C or C++. The server is reliable, not, perhaps as reliable as the Unix/Apache Web system, but certainly reliable enough for the average small to mid-sized business. 
 

Sun Java System Web Server

Formerly the Sun ONE Web server, the Sun Java System Web server provides a powerful and scalable business Web server solution. It even supports ASP, CGI, ColdFusion and PHP. It is more reliable and responsive than Apache (http://www.sun.com/software/products/web_srvr/whats_new.html ).
