Best wamp server 2013

Here is one interesting comparison
Best WAMP for Web Development (2013 Edition)


Stack overflow also has done a comparison for xampp vs wampserver vs easyphp
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5580342/windows-xampp-vs-wampserver-vs-easyphp-vs-alternative


Basically, xampp has a lot of stuff thrown in and is easy to install but the default configuration does casts some doubt on its security, the easyphp is also very easy to install but is only intended to be for development and not for deployment (it's default configuration is also very insecure -- please refer to earlier blog post on how to fix this). Wampserver does require more work to configure; and does not come with so many components/modules pre-packaged.



I have also been looking at another alternative called z-wamp
http://zwamp.sourceforge.net/
It's from the same folks responsible for the F3 (Fat Free Framework)
A lightweight zero-install Web server package that runs on Windows. The project aims to provide the latest production/stable versions of Apache, MySQL, PHP, Adminer, MongoDB, MemCached, SQLite, eAccelerator, and Alternative PHP Cache (APC) to boost server performance.

I am also evaluation the uniserver or uniform server
http://www.uniformserver.com/
The Uniform Server is a WAMP solution that allows you to run a web server on any Microsoft Windows OS based computer. It is small and mobile to download or move around and can also be used or setup as a production/live server.

The last two (z-wamp and uniformserver) are of interest because they claim that they can be used as production/live servers.
