The Apache Project is an Open Source software that delivers a high performance and highly flexible Web server. The popularity of Apache can also be directly linked to the growth of the World Wide Web-since most sites were running Apache at one point or the other.

The power of Apache comes from the ability to be able to extend it using modules that provide all sorts of functionality-from giving WebDAV features to URL redirection to automatic CAPTCHA image pro¬cessing and more. This allows developers and website owners to throw together a highly customized site quickly. However, Apache's share in the Web server area has been declining steadily in the past few months to just below 50% right now. But there is no doubt that the growth that the Web has had is partly due to apache.
