Apache Handlers are a feature in the Apache web server used to manage how certain file types and extensions are processed. They instruct the server to handle specific types of files with certain software or modules. For instance, you can set a handler to process files with a .cgi extension using the CGI module. This customization is crucial in web hosting for optimizing how web applications handle different data types, enhancing performance, and ensuring proper execution of scripts and files on a website.
