Nginx - lighter footprint, easier to setup.

It's more of an old vs new scenario. Apache being the old guard and Nginx being the up and comer.

Up and comer? Its been out for 11 years. I also believe it was the first web server to have a solution for the C10K problem, yes i know apache server has been out longer.

Was trying to explain it in layman's terms.

It may have been out for 12 years, but it didn't nearly have the popularity 5 years ago that it has now. Now it's a real contender to Apache, previously it wasn't.

Don't worry I understand what you meant, basically Nginx learned form Apache's mistakes and should thus in the long haul be a better choice since Apache will need to overcome core issues by issuing "patches" to workarounds where as Nginx just build it from scratch keeping Apache's "legacy" pitfalls in mind.

correct?

In other words Capitec vs ABSA

Not following. The flow makes work and continuous releases easy. Every time a change happens in integration a build is kicked off and if it passes it is automatically merged to master (latest prod). Every merge to master is tagged with the build number which is the "version" number.

Maybe a bit more involved if you want to use semver ...but why use it anyway?


That's kinda what I mean. Git is awesome for maintaining one iterative product release wherein deviations are a separate product (forks).

But where each version has continually maintenance done and the product moves forward.. You basically either have each version as a fork.. Or each version as a branch. The problem comes in when doing a fix on master which impacts versions too and it's a fork.

Meh I guess repos need to match product life cycles for it to make sense

You don't do fixes on master, they happen in a branch.

If master is version 1.8 and you do a fix to version 1.2 then master needs to be branched, the fix applied and then merged back to master again.

Is this specs https://www.domains.co.za/cloud-server-hosting (the VM-1) good enough to host multiple websites?

(The sites will be like this Githelp one. So nothing majors, might want to try out wordpress on this as well.)

I want to use this server to learn how to be non dependable on Cpanel since at the moment I have a bunch of WHM's setups.
