Comments and Reviews
Said about nginx as an alternative
nginx is a great alternative if using as reverse proxy, or hosting pages that strictly use html/css/javascript for content, but if you have php, python, or any other server side languages in your code i would recommend using Apache
Nginx as highly configurable as Apache, but Nginx consumes less resources.
