PHP 5 is the most popular website scripting tool on the Internet today. Why have we chosen to develop using PHP? Because we feel that the Open Source community, those who maintain the language, by nature produce and maintain the best development tools on the Web. Because developing with PHP is fast, secure, and can accomplish all of your site needs. But mostly, because we dig it.
MySQL is "the world's most popular open source database," and for similar reason as above our favorite database to develop with. It is light, secure, fast, and with over 10,000,000 installations worldwide, a proven database solution.
Apache is, like our other developement tools, completely open source. That means Apache is as stable and secure as any other web server available today. Highly configurable to meet the needs of any company, Apache stands out as the most likely server solution for sites on the Internet.
