USB Webserver

Similar to XAMPP, USB Webserver is a free and open-source cross-platform web server that supports the Apache HTTP server, MySQL database and the PHP scripting language.

The tool is developed to help users easily design and manage websites in PHP from any location. It allows websites to be displayed offline.

This is a portable application, so it is not required to install USB Webserver. In other words, you can place the tool on an external device (like a USB flash drive) and run it on any computer.

The most important fact is that the Windows registry is not altered in any way and no leftover items can be found after program removal.

The interface of the app is based on a small window in which you can easily run the Apache and MySQL services, with the click of a button (a feature provided by most similar software). Also, you can access text files for logs and settings.

In the "General" area you can access the root directory, Localhost and PHPMyAdmin. But you can also go to the "Settings" section to change the interface language and set USB Webserver to automatically open the web browser and to minimize to the system tray at program startup. You can change the path to the root folder along with Apache and MySQL ports.

The simple-to-use tool runs on a moderate amount of system resources and has a good response time. We have not come across any issues throughout our testing; USB Webserver did not freeze, crash or display error dialogs.
