Xitami is a Web and FTP server, originally developed by iMatix Corporation as a free, open-source product from 1996 to 2000.
The name was chosen at the last minute when the developers realized that their original choice ("Cosmos") had already been taken by another web server that no longer exists.
The Xitami team continued to add features until mid-2000 when development of the server stopped except for security updates.
[5] This uses the latest generation of iMatix's multithreading technology (Base2), making Xitami scalable to multiple cores, while remaining small, and simple.
Windows binaries for X5 were released in February 2009 and X5 was used for the first time to run the iMatix Live Zyre website.
