Apache Web Server

Apache is the most popular and powerful web server software available today. All Virtual Private Server HTTP service is provided by a customized version of the Apache 1.3 Web Server.

We have made some modifications to Apache to extend its flexibility and power. Performance enhancements include more efficient handling of HTTP requests, improved protection against process loading, and better error recovery. These improvements have reduced CPU load balances up to three times on many of the Virtual Private Server host machines. That directly translates to better performance from your Virtual Private Server.
