"Apache remains the king of Web servers .. Apache's overall security, performance, and robustness are unquestionable -- many of the most accessed sites in the world run Apache or Apache derivatives."
Apache "has gained a stellar reputation not only for its unbeatable price (free) and public source code, but for its features and reliability."
"Apache remains the king of web servers despite intense efforts by Microsoft and Netscape to gain dominance in the market. In fact, the latest Netcraft surveys indicate that the freeware Apache is widening its lead over the rest of the field. Apache users have come to rely on the server's rock-solid reliability, outstanding performance, and rich set of features."
"... Apache 1.3.0 has been selected as this week's [17 June 1998] Server Showcase. ... While only the best servers are even reviewed by ServerWatch, only the very best of the best are honored with the Server Showcase award."
"This public domain server is continually being updated by a volunteer force of developers and is one of the fastest and most stable available for UNIX servers. To let programmers get right to the root of tough problems, it ships with source code. With sites like Yahoo running Apache, its scalability is unquestionable. The price is certainly right, and since it's been recently ported to Windows NT, the Apache fan club can only get bigger."
"... There seemed to be a forgone conclusion that the proliferation of server choices would quickly narrow itself to one or two from the heavy hitters. ... The free Apache Web Server has confounded nearly every pundit's projection since it was introduced in December 1995. ... The result? A robust, stable, extremely inexpensive,and constantly upgraded product that dominated the web server market a year after its introduction and which continues that domination to this day."
"Part of Apache's charm is that it costs nothing and that its source code is freely available for anyone to take and customize or extend. Of course, free wouldn't count for much if the software didn't work, but the Apache Project has built a stable, speedy Web server that runs on almost all flavors of Unix, OS/2, and even Windows."
