Which web-server are good on Windows?

PageKite is compatible with any standards compliant HTTP server, so you can use whatever you like. If you just want to share the contents of a folder on your computer with the web, it may be easiest to just use pagekite.py's built-in server.

Something like this may do the trick (run from the cmd.exe command line):

cd C:\Users\Yourname\Desktop
pagekite.py C:\Path\To\Folder YOURNAME.pagekite.me

Note: This assumes you saved pagekite.py to your Desktop, if you put it somewhere else you may need a different cd command.

Here are a few other suggestions:

  • XAMPP is very powerful and can run popular apps like WordPress.
  • The HFS server is nice and simple for sharing files or static websites. Web developers like this one.
  • ... or check out the PythonOnlyWebServer.
