Category:LAMP Guides

LAMP stands for Linux, Apache, MariaDB (or MySQL) and PHP. A LAMP server is one of the most common ways to host websites without a control panel. Whether you're on a cloud server, virtual server or dedicated server, our LAMP guides take you from a fresh installation to a working website with a free SSL certificate.

Select your operating system below. For a new server, we recommend the newest release of your preferred operating system.

• AlmaLinux 10 (newest)
• AlmaLinux 9
• AlmaLinux 8

• Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (newest)
• Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
• Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

• Debian 13 (newest)
• Debian 12

Our older guides for CentOS 5 and 6, Debian 6, Fedora 16 and Ubuntu 12.04 have been retired, because those operating systems no longer receive security updates.
