Review on Lighttpd by Mark Lowery

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The fastest Web Server without any problems

It is fast, it is open source, it allows to do many things. I have never seen another web server that I like better than lighttpd. I do not like it when it is slow - it is very important for me. I'm looking for a web server that I can easily put on a single machine, on the server (as a reverse proxy). I have to work with the website, which is not as popular as PHP. I am looking for a fast web server that will help me to reduce the load for the website that I work with. It is the most suitable for me and is very popular among developers. Lighttpd is the best web server for performance. It is so easy to configure and install and can be used from the command line or from a web interface. It is also very secure. We use it in a very large web application and it has never failed us. There are a few things that I dislike. It is a little bit difficult to configure. I think it would be easier to use if it had a graphical interface. It does not have an easy way to configure SSL. We use it to serve web applications and it is very fast.
