What is a free software I can have a cam2cam/ video chat, I have a domain & hosting package, 4 family over sea?

I have my own domain and hosting package for my online business, I am thinking of doing this to keep intouch with family over seas, and will be a better connection than instant messengers video chat, no lagging. I have a online business, so I figured I can use that hosting pkg and domain and make a password protected page.
You will always get lagging no matter what you use.
Why not use Skype with a webcam? Skype to Skype is free. Can have Video chat or Video to IM chat, etc.. All free.

Lag is going to be an issue of the quality of the internet connection quality of the participants regardless of which service you use (Faster=better). Latency will also be a factor because of the "distance" it has to be processed for all of the members in the video call.
If you’re looking for a video chat API, the company I used to work for (Tokbox) does have one available. If you’re just using it to chat with friends and family, however, it seems like a little overkill.
