Web Hosting General

What is Nginx and when should I use it instead of Apache?

Nginx is an event-driven, asynchronous web server that handles thousands of concurrent connections with minimal RAM. Apache spawns one process per connection (memory-intensive at scale); Nginx uses a fixed number of worker processes regardless of connection count. Choose Nginx when you have high concurrent traffic (100+ simultaneous users), API servers, or reverse proxy needs. Connect Quest VPS plans support full Nginx installation. For most WordPress sites, Connect Quest LiteSpeed server (included) outperforms both, combining Nginx-like efficiency with Apache .htaccess compatibility. Configure via SSH on any Connect Quest VPS at connectquest.co.in.
