What is LAMP?

LAMP = Linux Apache Mysql PHP.

LAMP is a new buzz word that you may have heard in relation to web site development and web hosting.

One of the key LAMP web sites comes from the trusted O'Rielly source onlamp.com. (They are the guys that write all the great IT manuals.) LAMP is taking over from many proprietary development platforms such as Microsoft .NET and ASP. Its strengths are that many ready to run applications are available at no cost such as Joomla, and hosting companies do not have to pass on the expensive costs related with Microsoft hosting software for example, so we can keep costs down. Also developers do not need to purchase expensive development software as most of it can be downloaded online. Netvantage offers full LAMP hosting.
