If WAMP, LAMP, and MAMP are pre-configured software packs for Windows, Linux, and Mac, respectively, then what is XAMPP? Knowing what this variation of AMP is exactly might be useful for your joomla web hosting.

XAMPP is actually just like any other AMP. That is, its a solution stack consisting primarily of Apache, MySQL, and PHP/Perl. There are two main distinctions with XAMPP from all the other kinds namely: (1) there are two Ps on the acronym to emphasize that the stack only includes the PHP and Perl programming languages, but not Python, and (2) X doesnt stand for any particular OS, but rather represents a cross-platform program (hence, the X).

XAMPPs main purpose is to allow developers working on Joomla hosting to test their websites on their computers without the need of any internet connection. However, you can also use this open-source solution stack to run a live website on the internet, but certain requirements have to be used to achieve that.
