it's a shame most hosting companies only offer apache

I'm tempted to try and set it up on a dedicated, but i fear it will disrupt all the reseller hosting panel stuff :(

how could it? just an additional service running on a different port

I'll use it for all my random scripts, eg starcraft, trackmania etc, using a different port, leave apache for 80
