    WampServer is an ideal choice if you are looking for a lightweight server management tool. However, it does not support Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). So you might want to use XAMPP if you need SSL support with more complex development tools.

Plus, you get access to cloud support, which allows you to save projects remotely, and keep up with your development on any computer.
