It uses process-driven architecture where it creates a new thread for each connection request.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Apache also comes with a wide choice of modules that can be used to increase your web server&#8217;s features. In a nutshell, Apache is fast, reliable, secure, and highly customizable to meet the needs of many different environments through the use of extensions and modules.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-is-Nginx\"><\/span>What is Nginx?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Igor Sysoev, a Russian coder, created NGINX in an attempt to solve the &#8220;C10k&#8221; problem. Igor succeeded in his task &#8211; Nginx is able to handle over 10,000 simultaneous connections with ease. To accomplish this, Nginx uses event-driven and asynchronous architecture to help handle new connections. Nginx has many features . Some of them are listed below:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>A load balancer and an HTTP cache.<\/li>\r\n<li>A front-end proxy for Apache and other web servers.<\/li>\r\n<li>A reverse proxy server for the HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, POP3, and IMAP protocols.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pros-and-Cons-of-Apache-and-NGINX-Servers\"><\/span>Pros and Cons of Apache and NGINX Servers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Before hosting a website, you must choose a web server that meets the demands of your particular website. So it is very important for you to know the pros and cons of each server. In this section, we will discuss the pros and cons of each web server.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Apache Webserver<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Apache is very older than Nginx and is the top choice by many webmasters and developers. It runs on all operating systems including, Windows, Unix and Linux.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Advantages of Apache<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Excellent Performance for serving dynamic content.<\/li>\r\n<li>Load and unload modules dynamically.<\/li>\r\n<li>Provides .htaccess that can be used to override system-wide settings on a per-directory basis.<\/li>\r\n<li>Provides excellent support and documentation.<\/li>\r\n<li>Uses one-connection-per-process model.<\/li>\r\n<li>Comes with the mod_evasive and mod_security module that provides an additional layer of security.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Disadvantages of Apache<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Unable to process a high amount of requests concurrently.<\/li>\r\n<li>Slower in displaying static content when compared to nginx.<\/li>\r\n<li>It has detailed configuration and administration capabilities. So it is not suitable for beginners.<\/li>\r\n<li>Performance issues on heavy traffic websites.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Nginx Webserver<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Nginx is a simple, lightweight and fast web server. It is specially designed for high traffic websites.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Advantages of Nginx<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Uses Non-blocking, Event-driven architecture that requires less CPU and memory.<\/li>\r\n<li>It has a lot of options to optimize and serve static content. So serving the static content 2.5 times faster than Apache and consumes less memory.<\/li>\r\n<li>Works great with a multi-processor environment.<\/li>\r\n<li>Built-in configuration option to prevent DDoS attacks.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Disadvantages of Nginx<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Can not process dynamic content natively.<\/li>\r\n<li>Less extensive list of modules.<\/li>\r\n<li>Supports Linux and Unix operating systems &#8211; Windows support is limited.<\/li>\r\n<li>NGINX does not support something like the Apache\u2019s .htaccess file.<\/li>\r\n<li>Lack of log monitoring tools &#8211; Simply writes logs to files that you have to manually navigate.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When-to-Use-Each-Server\"><\/span>When to Use Each Server<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>As described in this post, we can see that both Apache and Nginx are powerful, flexible, and all around excellent web servers. Apache is best for serving dynamic content, while Nginx is best for serving static content or media streams for high-traffic websites. It all boils down to the following:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>You should use Nginx<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>If you are using a VPS or dedicated hosting.<\/li>\r\n<li>You are running a high-traffic website with a lot of static content.<\/li>\r\n<li>If you want to manage incoming traffic and distribute it to slower upstream servers.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>You should use Apache<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>If you are using shared hosting.<\/li>\r\n<li>If you value the supportive community and the wealth of resources it provides.<\/li>\r\n<li>Web developers often do well with Apache &#8211; it&#8217;s easier to configure.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In the above guide, we covered what to look into when deciding whether Nginx or Apache would be best for you. Choosing which server works best is largely depending on your requirements, environment and decide the best option. Hopefully with the help of this tutorial, you now know when to use Apache or Nginx.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\" \/>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\r\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"115\" height=\"115\" class=\"wp-image-34222\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/managed-nginx-apache-support-by-experts-easy.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Regardless of the choice of web server, having <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/apache-hosting.html\">managed Apache<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/nginx-hosting.html\">managed Nginx hosting<\/a> can help make your website hosting experience a joy instead of a headache.
