The Apache HTTP server - now 10 years old - is the product of an open source initiative dedicated to keeping the internet free from commercial control. It is a key part of the Lamp (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Perl/Python) platform.
Apache has been the most popular HTTP server on the internet since 1996. Although both Apache and Microsoft IIS are gaining numbers, their market shares are relatively constant, at just under 70% and just over 20% respectively.
