Apache Web Server - What is...

so question is is what is an apache web server an apache web server is an HTTP server that presents websites to visitors that come to your server so if you want to deploy a website set for a business or for your organization you would most likely use apache in order to do that there are other HTTP servers out there such as iis or in jinks but apache is the standard that most people use whether they're on linux whether they're on Windows or whether they're on Mac Apache is the default that most people go to because it's well-known it's very reliable and it's free so if you're going to be trying to deploy a website generally you're going to be using Apache now one thing to realize with Apache is that all it is is an HTTP server so if you install this on Linux or you install it on to Windows or you install it on to a Mac all it will allow you to do is be able to present static websites to visitors coming to your server so if you you code out an HTML website with no additional programming languages other than something like JavaScript you can use that with just an Apache server so you know h1 title you plug all of that in you can put that onto an Apache server and you can present that to visitors coming to your site do realize if you need any database services or if you need a dynamic programming languages in order to make your website work such as PHP or Ruby something along those lines you will have to install those additional server services onto your server so most of the time when people build a web server they build a lamp server so a Linux Apache my sequel PHP generally most of the time people install my sequel and PHP in addition to Apache but do realize that you don't have to if you just simply have a static website maybe with specific information a very plain you know general website you can simply use Apache in order to present that to your visitors so that's all Apache is and that's why it matters
