If you are a technical blogger you sure know how Wordpress works and what are the requirements for running a web server. Wordpress runs on PHP and MySQL where PHP is a web programming language and MySQL is a database query language. If you make plugins or design themes or do any kind of work in PHP and MySQL you will definitely know how big pain is it to install a web server on your local PC. But this little new app will help you run a web server on your machine without even installing it.

Run a Web Server Directly on Your Machine

Server2Go is a web server that just runs directly on your machine. It can run directly from yor cdrom, usb stick or from any folder on harddisk and needs no installation. Server2Go allows you to create a standalone working web site or PHP application on a CD-ROM.
