Take a look at Manifold IMS at http://www.manifold.net/mapserver/index.html
At $245 it includes not only a fast and powerful Internet map server, it also *includes* Manifold 5.00, the world's most sophisticated GIS. This allows creating cool web applications without programming using the totally WYSIWYG facilities of Manifold.
I don't think anything else compares. Before you find yourself spending thousands (or tens of thousands) of dollars on old-fashioned Internet map servers that run more slowly and require you to launch a software R&D project to set up, see how far you can go with Manifold.
As one of our customers remarked on Manifold-L (saying how much easier it was to use Manifold as a fully integrated GIS/IMS package): "Anyone who hasn't worked with ArcIMS or MapGuide has no idea of the joy it is to be able to work with just one program and not worry about formatting etc.etc. of two programs."
Cheers,
Dimitri
