LAMP is a common technology acronym that stands for the software combination of Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. Most web applications can run on a variety of operating systems, web servers, and database servers, but this combination of free and open source tools has become enormously popular for its security, flexibility, and scalability.<\/p>\n

The web hosting company that offers the fastest LAMP hosting would probably have a difficult time proving it. Furthermore, speed is only part of the equation for good performance. What you really need to consider is how you want to deploy your LAMP web applications and how to evaluate the reliability of web hosting providers.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Deployment is very important because it could have a serious impact on performance. When you deploy on a shared hosting<\/a> account, it is with the understanding that you will be sharing the server with other users. Under a small to medium load of website traffic, that should not be a problem. For higher traffic or for a web application that is resource-intensive, you should consider going with a VPS<\/a> or dedicated server<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You cannot judge web host reliability by the statistics a host gives you. On paper, it may be extremely fast, but actual performance will depend on how the host manages accounts and how it treats customers. For those answers, you will need to investigate. Read independent reviews, ask current users, and find websites that you know are already hosted on the prospective host’s servers.<\/p>\n

Finding the best LAMP host can be tricky, just as tricky as finding hosting for just about anything else. What you need most is a host that offers server-quality hardware and a proven track record of delivering performance to customers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
