Apache HTTP Server

Apache HTTP Server is the original web server, in continuous development since 1995. Module-based architecture, .htaccess overrides, mod_rewrite, and three decades of compatibility. Still powers a quarter of the public internet and ships as the default in cPanel, Plesk, and most Linux distros.
