NGINX (pronounced 'Engine-X') is a popular web server known for its speed, flexibility, and efficiency. Originally created to handle high traffic on websites, it’s now widely used not only as a web server but also as a reverse proxy, load balancer, and caching solution. NGINX is often chosen for handling static content and managing heavy traffic with ease, making it ideal for busy websites. It’s compatible with both Linux and Windows and is known for its ability to work seamlessly alongside other servers, like Apache.

Choosing between Linux and Windows hosting depends on your specific needs. Linux hosting is generally preferred for its stability, security, and compatibility with popular open-source software like PHP, MySQL, and WordPress. It’s often more cost-effective, as Linux itself is open-source. Windows hosting, on the other hand, is ideal for applications requiring Microsoft technologies, such as .NET, MSSQL, or ASP. If your website relies on these technologies, Windows is the better choice. Otherwise, Linux is often the go-to option for most web hosting needs.
