Apache

Apache is the webserver of choice, and not just for Open Source bigots. As of this writing, Apache has more than 60 percent of the active site webserver market (see www.netcraft.com/survey/). Because it is so widely used, it is widely tested, and when a bug is discovered or a new Web feature is implemented, bug fixes and updates are almost instantaneous. Apache has a BSD-type Open Source license, making it attractive for both commercial and noncommercial applications. Its modular architecture makes it feasible to tailor Apache to the environment you want to serve. Examples of major sites using Apache are Amazon and Yahoo - people who know how to handle Web traffic.
