Installing Nginx/Apache

A web server is software that stores website files (like HTML, CSS, images) and delivers them to users' web browsers. When you type a website address, a web server processes your request and sends back the content.

In this lesson, we'll focus on two popular web servers: Nginx and Apache.

Both Nginx and Apache are excellent choices for serving web content, but they have different strengths:

• Nginx: Known for high performance, efficiency, and scalability. It's often used as a reverse proxy, load balancer, and for serving static content.
• Apache: Highly flexible and feature-rich with a vast module ecosystem. It's very popular for dynamic web applications.

You'll often find them used together!
