Apache is great, it is open-source software devloped years ago and rund some 60% of all webservers in the world. I used Apache for awhile and found some pretty sweet resources. It can be difficult to setup without a client, since everything is in text files. Here is a website that can straighten everything out for you and provide you with everthing you’ll need to host your own site including running MySql, PERL, PHP and your own mail server. A total Open-Source Development resource:

Thinking back to 1995 when it was developed. It was basically changes in the coding of the HTTP, the NCSA HTTPd 1.3, which basically mean’t it was given the name of “a patchy” server. Which it isn’t now of course 😉
