What is the best and cheapest bulk email marketing (with own mail server) software?
I want to email thousands of my subscribers every month but ISP limitations means that I have to find a commercial software with its own email server so as to not to contravene ISP rules.

You might want to visit this blog. It has a store which might sell the kind of software you are looking for. Good luck!

What exactly is "streaming server software" and what is it used for ?
Take a website like deezer which pays for streaming rights from a music records company, (as well as bandwith costs to their web host ?)...and streams music to users...paying for costs (or trying to) from advertising on the site... How does that work technically speaking ? Where does the bandwith cost kick in if the streaming media comes from the music record company servers...and how does streaming server software come into play ?

Hello, The record company pays for the bandwidth I think. The software is used to channel traffic from the server to those downloading the songs. Thanks, Ian

What is the best client/server software for linux that can move files between servers?
I'm looking for a good client/server solution to move large amounts of files from one directory to another between multiple servers. Sortof like a tunnel, files are placed in one directory and are moved to another directory on another server. I've looked into and tried NFS and found it to have too many problems. Anyone have any suggestions on other software? Ideally this software will also be able to 'mirror' files as opposed to 'moving' them.

That's a hard question if NFS didn't convinced you, then you will probably need GFS. It'll act as NFS but all files/directories will be locked to avoid corruption, very similar to a Distributed Database. Just mount as many folders as servers you have and start moving thing around.

I am looking for a very cheap (preferably free) email server software. Please can you give me a source?
I am looking for a very cheap (preferably free) email server software for managing emails in a local network. The server connects directly to the internet an distribute emails to local users not connected to the internet.

If you run Linux there are many that are available. Take a look at Postfix.

server software.?
i'm trying to get my head round what i need to set up a server. I know about the scripting languages and databases at a later stage but the initial set is confusing me. e.g. could i put apache on a blank server and have it serve requests or do i need linux/unix to operate apache? good reading resources will be appreciated, not to heavy though :)

Select which OS you would prefer for your server and then install XAMPP http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html Click the url for more details.

Is ubuntu server software compatible with vista?
I would like to know if i can use ubuntu as a server software on an old pc and will it be compatible on my home network that have vista and xp pc's and laptops. Will i be able to get full functionality as if it was a windows server software. Thanks in advance for your answers.

you probably could, but ubuntu is built more for powerful desktops. You probably would be better using fedora core 6 as a server on your old PC. It will allow you to perform a lot of server functions similar to windows server.

Should I buy windows server 2003 or 2008? Or do I need the server software at all?
I need to run Windows Terminal server. Do I need to have windows server in order to do that? I am assuming that I probably do....in which case, should I buy 2008 or is 2003 perfectly adequate. Honestly, I only need it so that I can run software on 7 remote computers which happens to be Mac. Hope that is enough info!

The person who suggested logmein (or whatever that remote control service is) needs to read the question again - that's a fine solution... for ONE USER at a time. This person needs SEVEN users. Server 2003 is a little cheaper... but you have to think about what you are doing with it and if there will be any growth. A terminal server should have LOTS of RAM I like as an absolute MINIMUM 512 MB per user... prefer 1 GB per user. BUT 32 bit versions of Windows Server Standard only support 4 GB of RAM TOTAL. You could go with Enterprise... but that's $3000+. So you're left with 64bit Versions of Windows - which you need to check your software on - MOST 32bit software will work fine under x64, but NOT ALL. (64 bit versions of Windows go at least to 32 GB of RAM... Enterprise 64bit, I believe, goes to 2TB). As for parallels or another virtual platform, you still need windows licenses AND licenses for parallels... In the end, for 7 users, the total cost may be SLIGHTLY more expensive for a Windows solution instead of parallels, but if you ever need to add more stations, it will rapidly become cheaper with Windows. The exception to this is if you end up with software that is not compatible with Windows Server 64bit versions. Then parallels will likely be worth the cost. By the way - 2003 and 2008 have the same 4 GB limit for 32 bit versions of Server standard. I'd go wtih 2008, as it will last you longer and offers some advanced RDP (Terminal Services) features, like Terminal Services Gateway.

How can I develop a db-driven website in ASP.NET without buying db server software?
I'm building a website in ASP.NET VB (not going to change language at this point), and I'd like to interact with either MS SQL server or MySQL. In developing the site, I need to test my code locally before deploying on the internet. How can I achieve this without paying for the same software that will be used by the web hosting server? Can I download MS SQL Server Compact Edition, code to that, then just upload to a site using SQL Server? Or is there some way to develop for free with MySQL?

The free database engines from Microsoft are fully compatible with SQL server, the only differences are the supplied tools, the maximum database size and the number of connections. MySQL is free so you can download and install exactly the same software as used by your web host.
