LAMP is one of the most popular and widely used software stacks. It stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP, and is used for hosting both static and dynamic web applications. It’s a common hosting stack among developers and sysadmins, and is well adopted by most major hosting companies. Let\u2019s briefly flesh out the components of the stack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apache HTTP server<\/a> is a free and open source cross-platform web server that is used for hosting websites and web apps. It’s fast, feature-rich, and highly customizable to suit your hosting requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MySQL<\/a> is a popular relational database management system (RDBMS) that stores data in rows and columns inside tables. This is crucial when running applications that need to capture and handle data in a structured format. Over time, MariaDB<\/a> has proved to be a popular alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is due to its powerful storage engines, faster replication, better security features, and improved performance. MariaDB is a fork of MySQL that was created following Oracle\u2019s acquisition of the database. Other alternatives include Persona and Postgres.

PHP<\/a> is a popular backend scripting language used to develop dynamic applications and access the database. Code written in PHP is interpreted by the web server using the PHP processor module, which generates the resulting webpage. WordPress is an example of a popular PHP application that\u2019s the most common CMS on the web. It\u2019s commonly paired with MySQL or MariaDB as well as Apache on the back end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
