NGINX

A high-performance web server and reverse proxy alternative to Apache, known for its speed, scalability, and efficiency in handling heavy traffic loads.

NGINX is a high-performance web server known for its speed and efficiency. It's built to handle thousands of connections at once, which makes it a favourite for high-traffic websites and modern hosting environments. Besides serving web pages, NGINX can also act as a reverse proxy, balancing requests between servers to keep everything fast and stable. Hosting providers often pair it with caching tools and load balancing for even better performance. It's lightweight, reliable, and has become a core part of how the internet delivers content smoothly. If Apache is the classic veteran, NGINX is the performance-focused successor built for today's web.
