I remember this discussion coming here and some experienced developers brushing it as being inconsequential as the tool used doesn't matter as much as the application. Wappalyzer, aan application detection extension shows Nginx now serves half as many webservers as Apache, and almost as many visitors as Apache, traffic wise. The main advantage of Nginx is that it is a light weight web server - apache was written in the 90s when websites and servers were different from what they are today, in stuff such as multiple cores and threading. What you will find is that you can serve much more traffic on the same server with NginX compared to Apache, plu sit is relatively easy to use. So if you have resource constraints, you may experiment switching Apache for Nginx http://wappalyzer.com/categories/web-servers -- with Regards: blog.denniskioko.com <http://www.denniskioko.com/>
