Apache has been the most popular web server on the Internet since 1996.

The Apache project is an effort to develop and maintain an open-source HTTP server for various modern desktop and server operating systems, such as UNIX and Windows NT.

The goal of this project is to provide a secure, efficient and extensible server which provides HTTP services in sync with the current HTTP standards.
