It used to be easy to pick a Web server for running your business: if you were a Microsoft shop, it was IIS, the Web server that comes as part of Windows Server; if not there was Apache. But those days are just a fond memory now. And Vaughan-Nichols has a some suggestions of lightweight servers that you may not have ever heard of, such as Nginx, Lightpd, and Hiawatha. He says,”if you need Web site speed and you simply can’t throw more servers at your performance problems, then Nginx or Lighttpd deserve your attention. If, on the other hand, you’re seriously worried about attacks coming at your company through your Web site, then you should consider Hiawatha.”
