        Interesting. I've not really seen much NginX interest. I wonder who is really using it.

          Mostly CMS sites coded with PHP that have high traffic are usually looking to Nginx to solve speed issues along with other things like Varnish.

            Isn't PHP performance where Apache wins, though?

              @scottalanmiller Depends on the situation and the server (shared or not). From the article: "If you’re going to be hosting many sites and many applications with this server, like a bunch of Wordpress sites, the answer is less clear. In that case PHP becomes much more of a bottleneck than either of the web server choices."

              From my Googling over the years, Apache is still the choice for most SMB CMS websites that get low to moderate traffic.

                I thought that they were saying that PHP is a bottleneck.... So Apache makes more sense again based on the use of PHP. Look at the larger context. That's how I thought that that was applied.

                    And found out that it's pronounced Engine X.
