It is in my opinion an excellent web page server that allows you to use it in the PHP, Python and Java language, the most common are also handled by others, you can use this in different databases such as MySQL, in another aspect how adaptable it is to working in the windows and unix environments makes it very attractive. I can say that I keep control of access or restrictions by the security policies that I can implement, and give predetermined access to different pages. The use of open source software which allows me to see if there is a security failure gives me a reliability and the best e are in continuous updates, its cost is free, its work by module makes it easy to configure and I practice even if you are starting to work on it. Apache is not a new server but it has earned its place in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
