Nginx Or Apache?

Virtual Private Server (VPS) deployment can be incredibly tedious, and requires several tools to all work together perfectly in order to serve your website, API, or web-app. One of the most vital tools for a successful deployment is the web-server.

The two most common solutions used on servers are known as NGINX (pronounced Engine — EX), and Apache. Apache is a venerable and proven server that has been used for years and is published under the Apache open-source software license.

NGINX is also significantly faster than Apache, and was created to be both a proxy and a web server.
