Mavericks (Server)

[Rob Lewis]

For my current 10.7 mini, I bought "enabler" apps for the web server and DNS from Cutting Edge Systems. But now, the combined price of these is more than the cost of Apple's Server app. 

If you'll forgive me one war story: in the bad old days of Tiger Server, Apple provided a GUI for controlling basic functions of subsystems like the DNS. But the GUI was very limited, and the Catch-22 was that if you ever once resorted to the Terminal to set more advanced options, then the next time you tried to use the GUI control, the odds were that your settings would get hopelessly scrambled. And I had nowhere near the Terminal chops to fix a mess like that. Unfortunately, Apple didn't warn users of this, unless it was buried somewhere in the fine print. </war story>

You’ll need to do the restarts and configuration via some other method, there is a freeware control panel you can install and of course the command line tools are still there.
