Apache

Install a powerful web server on your computer.

When we browse over Internet, we are really connecting to a computer like our own, that manages the necessary data and sends them in the form of a web page. The software that manages this data is a HTTP server, or web server, and Apaches is the most important exponent of this type of application.

  An HTTP server or web server has to fulfill a series of requirements: be quick and at the same time sturdy and secure, be as optimized as possible, be easy-to-use without limiting its power and, especially, comply with the standards.

  The Apache web server fulfills all these requirements, what's more it is free software (so everyone can adapt it to their own needs) and enables the inclusion of extensions and the rest of add-ons that increase its capacities.

  The Apache web server, together with the MySQL database and the PHP programing language, have managed to dominate as a group the web server field, each one in its own environment, but all of them helping the general user and professional to make their tasks easier.
