XAMPP just installs everything in one shot. It's a super easy setup. I think XAMPP is so much better.
XAMPP is used to host websites. In addition, domains can be purchased through XAMPP.

To move the XAMPP folder from one computer to another, first, ensure that all services are stopped in the XAMPP Control Panel. Next, copy the entire XAMPP folder (usually located in C:\xampp) to an external storage device or use a network transfer. On the destination computer, paste the XAMPP folder in your desired location, and ensure that any necessary configurations (like the httpd.conf file) are updated as needed. Finally, launch XAMPP on the new machine and start the services to ensure everything is functioning correctly.
Not long. Just download xampp and run the installation.

Xampp is made primarily to be used as a local server. It supports concurrent access to the best of my knowledge, however it will most likely be a slow solution. Access can be granted to multiple machines, however this will only work if the xampp server is active on the host machine. This poses many significant security risks.
The first thing you should do is learn a Server-Side scripting language such as PHP. Then, get server software such as XAMPP(apachefriends.org). Follow tutorials available online to get familiar with XAMPP, and then start building your PHP for logins/logouts, and set up a MySQL database for user data. From there, you should be knowledgeable enough to know what to do next (this whole thing will take a lot of reading and Googling, and you will collect information as you go).
