There are three Webcrossing products: Core, Community, and Neighbors. In this series, we'll examine each one individually and then compare them.
Webcrossing Core is the engine that runs everything else. It is the underpinning to Community and Neighbors, and it can serve as a dandy web application development platform all by itself.
Core comes with built-in HTTP, SMTP, POP, FTP, NNTP and chat servers. It can serve ordinary web sites - or extraordinarily complex web sites - easily. It comes with a built-in NoSQL database, and all of this is installed with a single installation script you can run in 5 minutes.
You save a lot of development time starting with Core. Consider that there are two built-in scripting languages, a built-in user database, access controls including administrators and moderated users, user groups, and the concept of content objects "owned" by some author. You can create and prototype your own object types.
Why reinvent the wheel? Core is a great - and largely unknown - general web development platform, especially for interactive sites.
