USBWebserver is a Windows-based, portable web server application that allows users to run a local web server environment directly from a USB flash drive. It's designed to be a compact and simple solution for web development and testing on Windows systems.

The tool supports not only English, but other native languages as well. Translation can be selected from the settings tab. The application requires roughly 80 MB for complete portable installation, so it isn't really tiny in size. However it does come with all of the website hosting essentials making for a very well packed portable server.

Features include:

  • Portable: Is designed to be portable, meaning you can run it directly from a USB flash drive without the need for installation. This makes it convenient for carrying your web development environment with you.
  • Components: Includes essential components for web development, such as the Apache web server, PHP scripting language, and MySQL database server. These components are pre-configured and ready to use.
  • Easy Configuration: Setup is straightforward. You can configure the server settings through a simple interface, and it provides options for enabling or disabling specific features.
  • Control Panel: Comes with a control panel that allows you to start and stop the server components, open a web browser to view your local website, and access the server configuration settings.
  • Testing Environment: It's particularly useful for testing websites and web applications locally before deploying them to a live server. This local testing environment helps developers identify and fix issues before making their projects publicly accessible.
