Apache 2 hosting

Apache 2.x hosting offer many new features compare to Apache 1.3.x, including

• Unix Threading – On Unix systems with POSIX threads support, Apache can now run in a hybrid multiprocess, multithreaded mode. This improves scalability for many, but not all configurations.
• Better support for non-Unix platforms – Apache 2.0 is faster and more stable on non-Unix platforms such as BeOS, OS/2, and Windows. With the introduction of platform-specific multi-processing modules (MPMs) and the Apache Portable Runtime (APR), these platforms are now implemented in their native API, avoiding the often buggy and poorly performing POSIX-emulation layers.

And many more, check http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/new_features_2_0.html
