Nginx is an open source HTTP Web server and reverse proxy server. Pronounced as âEngine-Ex,â Nginx has emerged as the third most popular Web server behind the Apache Web server and Microsoftâs IIS, and it currently powers popular websites like Pinterest, WordPress.com, Netflix, Hulu, CloudFlare, Zappos and Zynga.
Apache and Nginx are both HTTP servers. They can serve static files like (.jpg and .html files) or dynamic pages (like a Wordpress blog or forum written in a language like PHP or Python). Apache/nginx need to be configured to recognize the URLs that users will be requesting and route them to the right place.
