This tutorial is going to show you how to install LAMP stack on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. A software stack is a set of software tools bundled together. LAMP stands for Linux, Apache, MariaDB/MySQL and PHP, all of which are open source and free to use. It is the most common software stack that powers dynamic websites and web applications. Linux is the operating system; Apache is the web server; MariaDB/MySQL is the database server and PHP is the server-side scripting language responsible for generating dynamic web pages.
Prerequisites
To follow this tutorial, you need an Ubuntu 20.04 OS running on your local computer or on a remote server.
If you are looking for a VPS (Virtual Private Server), then you can register an account at DigitalOcean via this special link to get $50 free credit. (For new users only). If you are already a DigitalOcean user, then you can register an account on Vultr via this special link to get $50 free credit (for new users only).
And if you need to set up LAMP stack with a domain name, I recommend buying domain names from NameCheap because the price is low and they give whois privacy protection free for life.
