If I go to a URL, say http://www.thenoblelion.com/, it brings me to the "Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page" instead of the actual URL. This is NOT my url, I'm trying to browse to it. It happens on a handful of other websites as well. And the URL's work on my Windows machine, but not my Ubuntu machine. I stopped Apache2 with "sudo systemctl disable apache2 && sudo systemctl stop apache2" but then I would get connection refused from the URL. Again, I'm not hosting ANY websites on this machine beyond a Plex Server. It's basically just my home PC. I'm running 20.04.3. How can I make this stop?
More info as requested:
I'm not purposely running apache. I was doing some Ansible training on my machine and maybe I installed it unintentionally. If I shut Apache down, I can't hit the URL I mentioned at all, which is weird.

Maybe I just need to completely uninstall Apache? I'm not using it.
And after some googling, I found this link: Permanently removing apache2 and removed apache2 and now it's stopped. Guess I need to pay better attention to what I'm installing and running. Thanks for the assistance.
