Description
If you want to debug a site locally or stand up your own web service, Apache HTTP Server is the longest-running choice. It is flexible, extended by modules, with virtual hosts, rewrite rules, TLS and content caching.
On Windows you can use community-built binaries; the bundled Apache Service Monitor starts, restarts and stops the service, and opening localhost shows it running.
Virtual hosts:host several sites on one server.
Modules:rewrite, auth, cache and scripting loaded as needed.
TLS/SSL:built-in HTTPS support with HTTP/2.
Service monitor:a graphical window to start and stop the service on Windows.
