>Well, I hear Zeus before, what different between apache ?

Well, I am no expert, but a some of the differences:

Zeus was designed with performance, scalability, and BIG sites in mind. 
Apache was designed with portability and general purpose use in mind.

Zeus has a proven track record for HUGE sites. Apache does as well, but many 
of those sites have switched to Zeus citing stability problems with lots of 
traffic.

Zeus is thousands of dollars. Apache is free.

Zeus is closed source. Apache is open source.

Zeus has about 1.8% of so of the market. Apache has about 60%.

Pretty much:
Huge site: Zeus
Smaller site with less CPU but decent RAM: Zeus
Everything else: Apache
