## What  is Apache Web Server

Apache is a free and open-source platform web server software that InMotion Hosting proudly supports as well as offering Apache tutorials. It is made up of some default modules that can be configured, but system administrators can also install additional modules to expand its abilities. 

## Apache Installation

Installing Apache is one of the first steps when setting up a web server. These guides will help you install Apache on your server, if it was not included by default.

## Apache Management 

Once your Apache web server is live, you must then manage it. Learn how to view the access log, which can help narrow down the cause of issues. There are specific Apache codes for different types of errors as well. These can provide a specific error and give you insight into problems occurring on your server. 

You can also inspect the amount of traffic hitting your server to determine the types of visitors you are getting with the guides in this section.
