Try using lighttpd. It's simple in administration and very powerful. A lot of our projects are running with it and we are absolutely satisfied.

You may even look at a hybrid solution. You can use a combination of nginx, lighttpd, varnish, and apache depending on your exact needs to help improve the efficiency of the server.

nginx or lighttpd ? which on is better. i dont need htaccess or .... .

Posted by barbus, 11-23-2010, 03:14 PM
All of them are good. Some use lighttpd, some nginx. There is no the only true way. But like I said I'd recommend to start testing with lighttpd.

Windows certainly won't be able to perform any better, more than likely considerably worse. I would consider what eth00 had mentioned, perhaps bringing nGinx into play would be a viable option. However, I would also be curious to see your configuration as there may be considerable room for improvement. You could also contact i.e Rack911 and have them tweak/optimize the box for your needs.
