we use webstar, which is pretty much the standard for web hosting on 
the mac.  in fact, my last two employers have used webstar for web 
serving.

there are also many plug-ins available to extend webstar's capabilities.

or, you could always convert your mac into a linux box and run 
apache... i have a feeling that would scream on a G3. ;)
