VPS Hosting Experience / Re: What are Apache and NGINX Protocols?
« on: July 23, 2024, 01:49:14 AM »
Apache and NGINX aren't actually protocols, but web server software!
Think of them like restaurant kitchens.
Apache is a traditional, well-established kitchen known for its flexibility in handling various recipe types (web requests).
NGINX is a modern kitchen focused on efficiency, capable of whipping out a high volume of simple dishes (static content) very quickly.
Both can serve delicious websites, but NGINX might be faster for a high-traffic site with lots of images, while Apache could be better for a complex e-commerce store.
