Which Web Server 2017 - Poll

[Mark_Taylor_]

Hey all,

I'm doing some research into the current webs server trends, I am developing a Node.js app and have been asked by the client to think about refactoring it for other servers in future.

Cheers

Also if you use a different server, if you wouldn't mind leaving that as a comment below that would be great.

Appreciate it

It really depends on use case.

I'll use Apache for traditional hosting setups (hosting multiple websites/applications in a shared environment) and I'll use NGINX (or Node) if the server is to be used for a single application/website.

I would use Tomcat for Java, though I never will and I never heard of LIGHTTPD

I work in DevOps and everyone in ops is an Apache fan but our developers prefer Nginx. I think your choice should be based on what you're more familiar with and how much support is available out there for your preferred web server.
Good luck!

Too little information. Completely depends on what tasks the server will be processing.

LiteSpeed all the way.

Few things must be keep in mind the scope of your application and your experience as a beginner Apache server will be best after that you can transferred to NGINX or Devops.

Personally used Apache and Nginx, both are good interms of stability and performance.
