Can WampServer be used successfully in production? Is this a bad idea?
So everyone knows, and I don't see how this mattered, we've paid for a windows dedicated box and we have existing IIS apps. We just wanted to use a PHP based CMS which installs easier on apache (since it has some dependencies). So, as the title indicated, windows, apache, php, and mysql are requirements.
Additionally, I'm talking specifically of the WampServer flavor of WAMP.

XAMPP is not meant for production use but only for development environments. XAMPP is configured to be open as possible to allow the developer anything he/she wants. For development environments, this is great but in a production environment, it could be fatal.
WAMP acts like a virtual server on your computer. It allows you to test all WordPress features without any consequences since it's localized on your machine and is not connected to the web.
Advantages of WAMP: –WAMP makes easy to code PHP and Creating Databases (in MySQL) in Windows platform. WAMP is Available for both 64 bit and 32-bit system.
Web developers find both the tools useful. Developers can test their websites locally before they make it live thanks to both these local servers. If you ask us, we would say WAMP is an ideal choice if you are only using Windows OS and PHP programming language. If you are a beginner, then WAMP is the ideal choice.
If you're not going onto the internet, there isn't any reason really not to. Of course you'd have to look at all the normal caveats - backups etc.
Instead of using an already made one, why not try to do your own? It would be a good learning experience and really they aren't that hard to get working together.
