Hosting specs: Nginx or OpenLiteSpeed?

Does Fluent have a recommendation on using Ngnix or OpenLiteSpeed for hosting the community and/or CRM?

Also curious what host and server specs people are running.

In case it helps you, I tried both, and made some tests.

Both work fine. But Nginx resulted being more flexible and scalable.

Not many differences on small communities though (in my experience)πŸ˜„

Jorge de los ReyesΒ Thanks. Good to know. What host are you using?

Can’t be happier with them!

To tell the truth, both Nginx and OLS are good, so don't waste your time and energy deliberately changing your web server just for the sake of fashion or mood.

There are strong arguments in favor of both the first and second options, but in practice, the outcome will depend on a combination of factors, which can be listed endlessly, from server selection to plugins and settings you will make.

P.S.
I have OLS, with an eye on the distant future in the direction of LiteSpeed ESI.
