What is Apache?
Apache is the most widely used web server on the Internet, based on information collected for the Netcraft Web Server Survey. Apache can serve pages via the HTTP protocol, and can also serve secure content via the HTTPS protocol.
One of the main reasons that businesses choose Apache is security. Apache, when configured properly, provides an extremely secure platform for business web content.
Apache is also flexible. Apache can serve a wide variety of content, from simple static HTML pages to advanced database driven PHP applications. The modular design of the Apache web server system allows features to be added without major updates to the underlying server.
