You can be curious what is an PHP accelerator and why it does speed up the execution of PHP scripts and how it does it ? There are several PHP extensions capable of doing that task: APC, XCache, Windows PHP Cache extension (Windows only), eAccelerator and some more closed-source commercial thingy's.

Of course there can be other ways and other software to build webservers , but the most popular in the free world is the xAMP platform (LAMP , sometimes WAMP et cetera.) where the first letter stands for operating system 'L'inux (x means any, because due to openness the suite runs on FreeBSD, Solaris and even Windows), 'A'pache (the de-facto world most popular web server), 'M'ySQL (there are other alternatives, notably PostgreSQL, but the MySQL and equivalents such as MariaDB is still on the peak), 'P'HP (of course there are alternatives too, but its extremely popular), so the Apache is server, PHP is script language and MySQL or MariaDB is a database backend.
