I've been using MAMP Pro for years for local site development. I've been relatively happy with it, but a recent attempt to update locked me out. I can't retrieve my license key, and support from the developer is abysmal, non-existent even. I simply refuse to give them any more of my money. But I'm not here to complain about MAMP Pro.
I just discovered AMPPS and it looks to be a similar package—but with actual support! Is AMPPS a suitable alternative to MAMP Pro for setting up a local development environment? I have DNS set to route *.dev.[mydomain].com to my local box. From there I need to be able to set up [clientname].dev.[mydomain].com and have it accessible for me to develop on and the client to preview.
Does this make sense? Is AMPSS up to the task of managing this simply and easily via GUI rather than me having to manually configure Apache, etc?
