Nginx installation – Caracas Server
On Sunday evening after 8pm we will be installing an Nginx reverse proxy on these two servers. This should cause only momentary disruption and will provide the same great speed boosts that we’ve seen on our other servers, as well as much faster page loading due to utilising gzip compression as standard.
Your sites and any .htaccess rules will continue to run as normal – this is a purely ‘transparent’ setup.
We use Nginx on our own site too and virtually all customer hosting -caracas is the last server to be converted. The speed boosts are huge over Apache!
