The name of the daemon process that is permanently in a web server host's memory waiting for connection requests to come in on port 80. The httpd program accepts a single HTTP request and responds with a single HTTP response. The name is a result of the common Unix convention of adding the letter 'd' (for daemon) to a server protocol as in ftpd, sshd, telnetd, etc, but not bind! More often than not, httpd is actually the Apache Web Server's process name.
