- WAMP (Windows as OS)
- MAMP ( Mac OS X as OS )
- XAMPP ( OS (Any), Pearl or PHP , FTP Server )

LAMP brings about a robust platform for large high performing web applications done by Software Development Company in Dubai. With a strong support from community, multiple libraries and tools, it’s easy to find developers.
Pros:
- LAMP is used by hundreds of companies and a multitude of developers and therefore it is constantly maintained and supported by a very strong community.
- It’s easy to adapt LAMP technologies according to varied needs with endless modules, libraries and add-ons available at ones behest.
- As LAMP technologies are LINUX based there is help available at all times from a large open source community.
- MySQL is a very secure and expandable solution. PHP is into its seventh version and is also supported by a strong community of developers.
- PHP is also very swift and blends well with the rest of the stack.
- It’s easy to control the server and make a choice on the various versions and software to install. LAMP is ideal if there are a lot of server- side tasks.
Cons:
- Because it’s a simple and easy tool to learn, there are a lot of developers who do not employ the best of practices and build a lot of useless apps. This runs true for security in these apps.
- Some argue that PHP is a script language instead of a real programming language because it is not pre-compiled.
