Most websites now use nginx!

April 2019 Web Server Survey on netcraft says that Most websites now use nginx!

 

It reminds me my original post: Tommy is useless for Production.

Nginx just became the most used web server among the top 1000 websites

 

The Apache HTTP server and NGINX are the two most popular open source web servers powering the Internet today. When Igor Sysoev began working on NGINX over 10 years ago, no one expected that the project he created for the purpose of accelerating a large Apache‑based service would grow to have the influence it has now.

Apache HTTP server is a solid platform for almost any web technology developed over the last 20 years, but time is showing that the architectural decisions made when the code was first laid down are becoming limiting factors in its suitability for modern web demands.

 

Conclusion

Apache and NGINX both have their place, and NGINX is clearly in the ascendency. Your requirements and experience might lead you to chose one or both, or even a different path. A monolithic architectural framework was sound practice when Apache was new and fresh, but app developers are finding that such an approach is no longer up to the task of delivering complex applications at the speed their businesses require. Microservice architecture is emerging as the wave of the future for web apps and sites, and NGINX is perfectly poised to assume its place in that architecture as the ideal application delivery platform for the modern Web

I don't want to start it again. Just saying what stats says. Most websites now use nginx we should consider too!

and no I don't want to delete my account and start using vps.

In my opinion, I don't think it is necessary to move as you, being a cPanel user, don't actually see any of the config files or have to edit them. All cPanel does is edit the backend files. Apache and Nginx do the same thing, so the only need to move such a big service over to Nginx from Apache would be if Apache reached EOL or it was limiting us. However, it is neither limiting us or reaching EOL so I think it is fine how it is.

 

I do personally user Nginx purely because I find it easer to use. Krydos, who mainly edits the Apache files probably finds Apache easer to use, as do the other Root Admins so they have no need to change it either.

If you develop for it, nginx is fine. The bad news is that most free software of the nature our users run is targeted at Apache. The way these two products are made means they're not fully compatible with each other, and the configuration side of them is entirely different too.

 

Cpanel doesn't fully support nginx anyway. It can apparently be installed as a reverse proxy, but as of now, it cannot be used to replace Apache entirely in a cP server. Apparently they're working on full support for it, but I doubt we'd use it if only because our custom stuff wouldn't support it.

Atleast for new servers to come.

Honestly, you're posting this message in the wrong place. We use cpanel, and we have no plans to stop using cpanel anytime in the future. Unfortunately, cpanel doesn't currently support nginx. If they did I would consider testing it out at the very least if not switching all of our servers to it. I strongly recommend you post your message to cpanel support not us, as we have no control over the speed at which cpanel adds nginx.

That's actually really bad news for us.

To take advantage of NGINX, you will need to enable PHP-FPM on all domains that serve PHP content.

On Ricky cpanel says

Warning: Your server may run out of memory if you enable PHP-FPM on all domains and accounts. Make certain that your server possesses enough memory to continue, or you may experience severe data loss. Your system requires 54.74 GB of memory to convert the remaining domains to PHP-FPM.

and Tommy has more than twice that many domains. Unless cpanel changes their mind on requiring php-fpm it would have to be a paid hosting server only, because we can't afford to give away a 50 GB+ memory server for free.

Thank you Krydos. This is all I wanted. A Try. I am done with requesting nginx on heliohost.

Yeah, no problem. I'm always willing to listen to suggestions or requests from our users. The main reason HelioHost supports so many technologies and has so few limitations is because users have requested them.
