nginx

Nginx is a high performance web server. It is especially good at handling many concurrent connections and excels at serving static content. Nginx is one of the most popular web servers in the world. It can successfully handle high loads with many concurrent client connections, and can easily function as a web server, a mail server, or a reverse proxy server.

Nginx logically divides the configurations meant to serve different content into blocks, which live in a hierarchical structure. Each time a client request is made, Nginx begins a process of determining which configuration blocks should be used to handle the request.
