Nobody was using Linux to host a web site in 1995. So much history being rewritten in this thread.

  Well, I was and I know plenty of others that did the same. Slackware was 1993. By 1995 we even had Red Hat. In 1995 NCSA was running just fine and from December onwards there was Apache. I had the first commercial version of the cam software out (which ran on SGI) and a year later it ran on PCs as well.

    You and your friends were probably hobbyists, hackers or small hosters. Datacenters (remember Exodus?) were full of Sun hardware, racked up & labelled with the ‘hot’ startups of early dot-com.

      FreeBSD was fairly popular for hosters as well, from what I recall.

    You were hobbyists, which was a tiny group compared to ISPs, where Sun’s hardware dominated. IBM and HP were competitors but they were less successful with ISPs. Were you in the US or Europe at the time?
