  • February 17, 2026
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

Practically all of the websites I worked on are built on a LAMP Stack Ubuntu technology.

There are different types of websites using LAMP Stack Ubuntu, such as blogs, e-commerce, back offices, and general websites that present a company or a service.

What is most valuable?

Developers choose LAMP Stack Ubuntu to build web applications for several reasons. All LAMP technologies are open source, which means that any developer or company can use them without having to pay licensing fees. It's a very efficient stack because setting up a new web development stack usually requires rigorous testing, whereas LAMP Stack Ubuntu is a tried and tested web development solution. It's very easy to use and can speed up application development. It's also very easy to maintain because software experts from around the globe contribute to the development of LAMP Stack Ubuntu technologies by reviewing the publicly available source code and updating it. They regularly maintain the technology so it remains secure and relevant. As a popular open source technology, LAMP Stack Ubuntu has the support of a huge global IT community.

LAMP Stack Ubuntu gives both reliability and flexibility to web developers. Lots of my websites, and also websites in my company, are using LAMP Stack Ubuntu to work on the servers. It's very impactful in my company because we use this technology extensively.

What needs improvement?

The only way to improve LAMP Stack Ubuntu is to improve the knowledge about how it works and how to update it, helping it become more powerful than it currently is. However, it's pretty useful as it is.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using LAMP Stack Ubuntu since my career started in software development, so approximately five to six years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

My experience with LAMP Stack Ubuntu is straightforward and I have not encountered stability issues.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

LAMP Stack Ubuntu gives both reliability and flexibility to web developers. LAMP architecture specifies the software components for each layer, so developers can replace them as they see fit. For example, I can use another operating system besides Linux as the stack foundation. It's great for scalability because I can modify the stack as I see fit.

How are customer service and support?

There is no formal customer support for LAMP Stack Ubuntu, but there is a great global IT community.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I started with LAMP Stack Ubuntu and have not used previous solutions.

How was the initial setup?

Lots of documentation is available online related to LAMP Stack Ubuntu. If I run into problems, I can always check resources through Google, Stack Overflow, and similar platforms, as well as AI resources. There is lots of information about LAMP Stack Ubuntu available, so it's very easy to troubleshoot it.

What was our ROI?

I don't have any metrics, but LAMP Stack Ubuntu is very easy to use and it's free. Everything that comes in as payment is for the work and not for the stack.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

LAMP Stack Ubuntu is completely open source, so there is no pricing, no cost, and no licensing.

What other advice do I have?

LAMP Stack Ubuntu is cost efficient, easy to maintain, has a lot of support, and has a lot of flexibility, making it an all-round technology that is easy to use. Follow the documentation regarding LAMP Stack Ubuntu and you will be fine. I would rate this product a 10 out of 10.

Bundled web stack has simplified secure website deployment and has reduced setup time

  • February 05, 2026
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for LAMP Stack Ubuntu is to deploy web services and websites. A specific example of a project I have deployed using LAMP Stack Ubuntu is a WordPress website with basic HTML and PHP, which we host in the environment using Apache.

What is most valuable?

We are using LAMP Stack Ubuntu because it is a complete bundle of packages that consists of PHP, MySQL, and Linux Apache, so we do not need to install components manually.

The best features LAMP Stack Ubuntu offers are easy installation, stability, security, and being open source, so we do not need to worry about licensing costs.

The stability and security of LAMP Stack Ubuntu help my work because when required to install a website, we do not need to worry about installing each component individually. We get LAMP Stack Ubuntu already configured and can deploy our website easily.

LAMP Stack Ubuntu has positively impacted my organization by eliminating concerns about stability, security, and package management. It is easy to install packages and very scalable without the licensing costs that come with enterprise versions. Additionally, it has a built-in community providing extensive support.

What needs improvement?

LAMP Stack Ubuntu could be improved because it is very dependent on PHP. If we are working with other applications like Node, there are limitations as we need to deploy only PHP-specific applications.

Package support is good; we can use commands to install packages, but it is very PHP-centric, making the whole stack specific to PHP. We cannot use other languages like Python or Ruby to deploy our application over LAMP Stack Ubuntu.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working in my current field for around 8.5 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

LAMP Stack Ubuntu is stable in my experience.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

LAMP Stack Ubuntu's scalability is good. We can simply set up enterprise applications, and it includes tools like mod_cache and reverse proxies to improve performance.

How are customer service and support?

The customer support for LAMP Stack Ubuntu is very supportive due to its popularity and community support.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Previously, we used PHP MyAdmin and other components individually, as well as NGINX to host the application.

We decided to switch from NGINX and individual components to LAMP Stack Ubuntu because LAMP Stack Ubuntu is a bundle of packages that contains Linux, Apache, PHP, and MySQL. We do not need to set up the database separately; we get the whole bundle, which relieves us from managing each individual component.

How was the initial setup?

Since I started using LAMP Stack Ubuntu, considerable time is saved, as we do not need to worry about installing components one by one. We simply get a package, and setting up any package can be done with a simple command inside Ubuntu using the apt package manager, making it flexible with different frameworks like WordPress, Laravel, and other PHP-supported applications.

I purchased LAMP Stack Ubuntu through the AWS Marketplace.

What about the implementation team?

LAMP Stack Ubuntu is deployed in the AWS cloud provider.

What was our ROI?

I have seen a return on investment because considerable time is saved. We do not need to worry about setting up each component individually, and we also do not need to worry about security patches, as it is easy to install packages.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing when I started with LAMP Stack Ubuntu was very reasonable. We do not need to worry about licensing costs since it is open source, and there are long-term Ubuntu security updates, making it easy to install packages directly from the apt package manager with basic Ubuntu commands.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before choosing LAMP Stack Ubuntu, I did not evaluate other options, as it is a very popular tool in the community, so we switched to it.

What other advice do I have?

My advice for others looking into using LAMP Stack Ubuntu is to directly pursue it, as we do not need to worry about licensing costs, and it has a very good amount of community support with easily installable packages using the apt package manager. Additionally, we can scale it with tools like mod_cache and load balancers, and it is widely supported by multiple providers. I would rate this product 9 out of 10.
