    Because LAMP involve 0$ for hosting and domain name. I don't think there is another reason. I use LAMP on Linux and WAMP on Windows. There are also many website that provide nulled scripts, themes and plugins so you can test them for free.

    In a nutshell, you use lamp (Linux + Apache + MySQL + PHP) or wamp (for Windows, mamp for Macs, or something similar) to provide yourself with a web-server environment that can duplicate the public site in structure and functionality. Lamp and wamp, et al are generics for the server environment most common on the net; not to mention that the components are all free. The database need not be MySQL if your host provides something else, e.g. it could be PostgreSQL. Likewise, instead of PHP, you could use Python or PERL.

    Without the server environment, you cannot test your server configuration, your mid-tier scripting, your DBMS API, or your DBMS back end. There are probably a potload of other things that require a server environment, but I have never tried building a site without, so no telling how many things just don't come to mind.

    cheers,

    I use LAMP extensively for many years. It's certainly cheaper than the others, but IMHO it's more reliable and consistent.
