How to choose between Apache and NGINX server?
Our Linux hosting comes in two flavors one is powered by Apache server and another one is by NGINX server.

So you can choose Linux Hosting with NGINX configuration if your website is going to be static. If it is dynamic you can consider Linux Hosting with Apache because of the flexibility it offers.
