It is a less heavy alternative to Apache, which can offer better performance and a smaller memory footprint.Nginx can be configured to load its configuration files without needing to shut down and re-start. This is done by sending a signal to the master process, which checks the syntax of the new configuration file and applies any modifications. It will also send an email to the old worker processes, asking them to cease accepting new connections, and to continue to service existing ones.To create a configuration file for Nginx, open the "/etc/nginx/sites-available/" directory and then create a symbolic link to the file you want to use in the "/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/" directory. The symbolic links, also known as symlinks will be used to determine which of the Nginx server blocks are enabled.

You can configure a variety of things, including permitting SSL connections or setting reverse proxy servers among other things.
