Properly Configuring Apache on Linux Makes All the Difference

Do you have a website? Does it run on Apache? Then you need to read this. The Apache HTTPD is surely used as a Web server in at least 70% of the Internet. It was created in 1995 and is available in versions for operating systems Windows, Novell, OS/2, Unix, Linux, FreeBSD, etc. Because it is Open Source, older, and available for almost all operating systems, these factors guaranteed Apache its leadership on the Internet. Even though it is the most widely used server, its configuration is not that simple, since it allows a very wide range of possibilities. Therefore, correctly configuring your Web server for your website, store, or blog is very important for:

• Increasing the site response speed -> Better ranking on Google
• Configuring HTTPS (secure site -> Google penalizes sites without the padlock)
• Ensuring your site is secure against intruders

If you use APACHE HTTPD, it is very important to know how to configure it well. If you want to learn more about Apache, check out our Apache Web Server course and also our Mod Security course, which is the Apache Application Firewall (to ensure nobody will steal your data, inject things into your database, or simply take down your site).
