Nginx Web Server
Performance and Efficiency Over Apache
Nginx, one of the most popular and widely adopted asynchronous (event-based) servers, promotes scalability. Fast, stable, and intuitive, nginx is arguably the most logical choice for serving large, highly trafficked websites from the “confines” of a virtualised cloud server.
After all, if Wordpress.com can rely on nginx to handle hundreds of thousands of live traffic requests per minute, shouldn’t it be sufficient for your website?
