Top Rated Apache HTTP Server Project Alternatives
As the title says, it is very intuitive; once you know how to do specific configurations, you start understanding how other configurations would work.
You can use it for proxying ports, serving static HTML content, proxying websocket servers and what not!
Wonderful community support because of the large userbase, so if you're facing some problem, there are high chances that a question for it has been asked and solved on at least one of the many forums. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The documentation could be a bit more beginner friendly. I had problems understanding it when I started and still have issues understanding some parts.
Also, a UI-based configuration tool would be great!
Otherwise, it covers all my use cases, so that's pretty much what I don't like about Apache Server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about apache is its simplicity to use. I have been using apache on all my ubuntu instances. The apache services are running on daily basis and I have deployed more than 50 websites on this apache server. Its easy to integrate & implement with any os. Just few commands to run and we will have a basic apache server page. Never really needed customer support because I have been able to do all the tasks by myself only.

Apache is a well-known webserver software that used for http and proxy servers. One of the main speciality of apache is it compatible with most of the operating system and it support the in-built authentication named http basic auth which is a login prompt that allows users to easily protect contents under a login page without any coding knowledge.
Apache also have a large community to support users which solve the issue with the lack of customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used the Apache web server for almost 20 years, and it was always straightforward to deploy and manage. I used managed web hosting on my servers and several internal servers without any issues.
The Apache community is significant; you can get documentation and information about everything everywhere.
The last time I used Apache was to setup several development environments to work on PHP, Javascript and JSON on a Live Chat web applications together with Joomla and WordPress and Drupal CMS, all working on the same sever using a single Mysql Database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I got some rare issues with Apache related to some complex security configurations; in some cases, I could not set up our Live Chat core there. But this was more on a module working on Apache than the web server itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Overall, I think Apache Server is a great web server. It is free (open-source) and reliable. With its small footprint, it is also very efficient and secure. If you are looking for a powerful and flexible web server, then Apache Server is a great option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is not much to dislike Apache Server because it is so stable and secure and works well with out-of-the-box settings; however troubleshooting by means of logging can be tedious. Modifying configuration for fine-tuning also doesn't seem straight forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Apache is open-source software, which means it's freely available to anyone, and its source code can be modified and extended by the community. This openness fosters innovation and community-driven development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Apache can be resource-intensive, especially when handling a large number of concurrent connections. It may require more memory and CPU resources compared to some other web servers in certain scenarios. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the integration of Apache with Ubuntu very much because the installation and then integration and configuration are straightforward in case you want to put more pages in the /HTML folder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wouldn´t say I like that much that once you install Apache, the documentation in the etc. and www folder is missing, and you have to view so many blogs to find out information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Apache server is open source which makes anyone can download and use it freely as per their need. It is highly fast and reliable and secures as well. Apache server runs very efficiently and smoothly on both Linux and Windows web servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As it is open source, we easily modify the configuration, which offers the invitation to various threads when we are in the middle of some of our code. As customization is happening, new bugs and errors are welcomed. So its requires strict updating policy, which should be done on a regular interval. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
