Yes, I have used Apache httpd for years, even back when I used Windows I
used it. It has a lot of support and is probably the most used web
server. It also has modules for PHP, TLS, and much more.

Nginx is another popular web server, that is considered more
lightweight. I don't know a lot about it TBH. But there is plenty of
information on the internet about it.

There is also Apache Tomcat, which is primarily used by people writing
Java Server Pages (JSP).

They go in /var/www.

If you want to you can change ownership of /var/www to yourself, rather
than root. Just do:

sudo chown ${USERNAME:-user} /var/www

in a terminal. I normally do this on my own machine.

I love nginx and have been using for years. You can nab it via a PPA: https://launchpad.net/~nginx/+archive/stable
