The Apache server has long been the most popular web server software in use. A web server is the part of your website which delivers (or "serves") web pages to browsers. The Apache HTTP Server is provided by the Apache Software Foundation. It runs on many different operating systems, including Unix, Linux, and Windows. [1]
Conservapedia runs the Apache HTTP Server to host MediaWiki.
The name is a play on words, indicating that the software was 'a patchy Web server' during or after original development, when software patches were circulated to add features and correct bugs. It also sounds aggressive and successful (see Apache tribe). It's not clear which came first, the pun or the "respect" for the tribe.[2]
