Configuring Apache well makes all the difference

Do you have a website? Does it run on Apache? Then you need to read this.
Apache HTTPD is securely used as a web server on at least 70% of the Internet. It was created in 1995 and is available in versions for Windows operating systems, Novell, OS/2, Unix, Linux , FreeBSD, etc. Because it is Open Source, older and available for almost all operating systems, Apache has guaranteed its leadership on the Internet.

Even though it is the most used server, its configuration is not so simple, since it allows for a very wide range of possibilities.

Thus, correctly configuring your web server for your website, store or blog is very important for:

  • Increase site response speed -> Better ranking on Google
  • Configure HTTPS (secure site -> Google penalizes sites without the padlock)
  • Ensure that your site is safe from 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 course Security, which is the Apache Application Firewall (to ensure that no one is going to steal your data, inject things into your database, or simply take down your site).
Also discover our Firewall Iptables and Linux Security courses
