Overall Satisfaction with Apache HTTP Server

I use Apache extensively in my hosting company. All my websites and the websites I host for clients are hosted with Apache. We use virtual servers to host multiple websites on one server and Apache serves us well, without incurring any cost. All in all it is a very good solution.
  • Very flexitble
  • Easy to setup
  • Lot's of support available
  • Sometimes too many options
  • Examples online can be wrong
  • Webhosting
  • URL rewriting
  • FCGI wrapping
  • It has made my business possible
  • To start up I didn't have to invest in and expensive HTTP server
  • There are no recurring cost
I has a lot more features, except that IIS is more integrated in a Windows environment. But now with .net core also possible from Apache it would work anywhere really. Only in a full Windows environment where full integration is needed I would chose to go for IIS. Otherwise Apache it is.

Apache is really great at hosting websites using all kinds of server ware like PHP to serve the websites and make them dynamic. Apache is free to install and so it does not come with a hefty license fee which is great. It is very flexible and can almost do anything you need it to do.
