## Apache HTTP Server FAQs

Answers to common questions about deploying Apache, configuring modules and running it in the cloud:

What is Apache HTTP Server, and why is it still widely used?

What is the difference between Apache HTTP Server and Nginx?

## Apache HTTP Server: configuration and cloud deployment

Apache HTTP Server remains widely used for dynamic websites. Its modular design, large user community and support for local .htaccess rules make it flexible to configure. On Deplomo, deploy Apache in a cloud container without maintaining the underlying operating system yourself.

### Key advantages of using Apache web server compared to other web servers

Apache’s .htaccess files let developers configure redirects, caching and file access without restarting the server. Multi-Processing Modules such as Event and Worker support different ways to handle concurrent requests; performance depends on the server configuration and workload.

### Deploy Apache without using the command line or managing Linux

Traditional Apache setup can involve connecting to a Linux server over SSH, installing packages and configuring directory permissions and virtual hosts. On Deplomo, deploy Apache from a cloud image and set the ports and environment variables your project needs, without managing the host operating system.

### Works with Nginx in hybrid architectures

Some architectures use both servers. If you want to put an event-driven web server in front of Apache, use [nginx web server](/marketplace/apps/nginx) as a reverse proxy to route requests to Apache. Configure caching for static responses where appropriate.

### Host WordPress and PHP applications

For business websites, blogs and WooCommerce stores, choose a WordPress hosting service such as [cloud WordPress hosting](/marketplace/apps/wordpress) , or deploy Apache with a MySQL database. Developers can also use Deplomo to deploy apps built with PHP frameworks such as [Buy Laravel hosting](/products/laravel) on the cloud platform.

### Security, live monitoring and infrastructure

Use Apache access and error logs in the dashboard to investigate HTTP 500 errors, redirects and incoming requests. Review firewall and application settings as part of your security configuration.

### Review Apache’s configuration and resource requirements before choosing a package.

Review the Apache configuration and resource requirements before choosing a package. International service creation remains paused, and no promotional wallet credit is granted. The pricing page lists the approved EUR package limits.

## Deploy your Apache server

Host Apache in an isolated environment with a custom domain, while the platform handles infrastructure management. Check package limits and current service availability before deploying.
