Apache Web Stack Solution

Production LAMP for WordPress, Drupal, custom PHP.

What you get

A LAMP stack that behaves in production.

Apache, PHP and MariaDB are easy to install — and easy to misconfigure into a slow, leaky mess. We ship a tuned config out of the gate: MPM-event with PHP-FPM per vhost, OPcache pre-warmed, MariaDB sized to your instance, HTTP/2 + Brotli enabled for every site.

TLS via Let's Encrypt is automatic — certs are issued at vhost creation and renewed unattended. fail2ban watches Apache, SSH and MariaDB. mod_security with the OWASP CRS is available as an opt-in. WP-CLI, Composer and Node.js are preinstalled so you can deploy modern PHP/JS workflows immediately.

phpMyAdmin is reachable over TLS at a non-default path with rate-limiting, so you can manage databases without exposing /phpmyadmin to the world.

FAQ

Common questions

Can I migrate from cPanel / Plesk?
Yes — we have migration scripts for cPanel and Plesk archives. Open a ticket with the source backup and we'll restore everything with the right vhost layout.
Can I host multiple sites?
Unlimited vhosts. Each gets its own PHP-FPM pool with its own resource limits — one slow site can't take the others down.
Can I pick a specific PHP version?
Yes — 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 installed side-by-side. Pick per vhost via the admin panel; switch with one click.
Can I use nginx instead?
This solution is Apache-centric. If you want nginx + PHP-FPM, open a ticket — we'll deploy that as a custom solution.
