Apache is a prominent web server that is freely distributed under a “open source” license to all Linux-based computers. As you are probably aware, the fundamental role of any web server is to accept and process client requests (visitors). Apache is unusual in that it has sophisticated features such as MPM (multi-processing modes) and mod ssl for enabling SSL v3 and TLS support. The only caveat is that the Apache web server must be optimized. Otherwise, it becomes very limiting in its operation.
