No repository statistics available for this project.
Apache HTTP Server (httpd) is a widely used open-source web server that provides HTTP services for modern operating systems, including UNIX-like platforms and Windows. It focuses on security, performance, and extensibility while tracking current web standards.
Key Features
- Static and dynamic content delivery via a modular architecture (loadable modules)
- Reverse proxying and load balancing capabilities
- TLS/SSL support for HTTPS, including TLS 1.3 when built with a compatible OpenSSL version
- Flexible virtual hosting for serving multiple sites from a single server
- Extensive access control and authentication options through configurable directives
Use Cases
- Hosting websites and web applications with fine-grained configuration control
- Running a reverse proxy or TLS termination layer in front of application servers
- Serving multiple domains with virtual hosts on a single machine
Apache HTTP Server remains a mature and standards-focused foundation for web hosting and edge HTTP services. Its module ecosystem and configuration flexibility make it suitable for both simple sites and complex production deployments.
