hey guys, doing some serious research here. NGINX vs. Apache, which in your own opinion is better and why? I'm old school and used to Apache but so many people talking about NGINX these days i'd be an ass to ignore and not ask.

[Nachfolger]

I prefer Apache cause it comes with WAMP and it seems to work when I need it to.

My host also uses it so.

[Wires]

Performance wise I personally prefer a LEMP setup, so basically Nginx, php-fpm, and MariaDB. That's the standard setup anyway.

[Sikes]

nginx has better performance and is easier to manage IMO

A robust structural system was sound practice when Apache was new and crisp, yet application engineers are finding that such an approach is never again up to the undertaking of conveying complex

applications at speed their organizations require. Microservice design is rising as the influx without bounds for web applications and destinations, and NGINX is superbly ready to expect its place in

that engineering as the perfect application conveyance stage for the present day Web.


“Apache is like Microsoft Word. It has a million options but you only need six. NGINX does those six things, and it does five of them 50 times faster than Apache.” - Chris Lea


NGINX scraps all the unnecessary things presented with Apache when the web just began and concentrated on things we require today: stability, mitigation, high concurrency, light-weight, load

balancing, speed, and reliability.

That's what LEMP or WINGINX are for.

I've always used nginx as it was the first http server software I used. It's easy for me to use and setting up multiple sites on one VPS with it is easy. It could be just as easy on Apache though to do what I do.

I'd go with nginx.

Apache if you want it to always work. Nginx if you want to put in the time to make it work good.

Pretty much this.
Apache is simple and reliable. Nginx is fast and complicated.

I love NGINX for a load balancer and reverse proxy.

As for a web server, APACHE is my favorite.

I’ve used Nginx as a load balancer to apache servers before. Very complicated, should have just done nginx.

Fast and complicated? Wat? imo nginx is simple af and apache is the most difficult one to work with, and the slowest.

I would like to add this also:
NGINX is faster except if you try using it on a Windows server. It does not perform well in that environment.
Apache is great for Windows.

I personally use NGINX though with my Ubuntu dedi (using plesk)

Apache is easier to me then NGINX..


heh I still own the domain NGINX.pw

But to enable hsts in nginx it's like 1 line
php? 3 lines
;_;
y tho
apache is so heavyweight
