So if you have ready any of my previous postings you will see that I setup nginx as a reverse proxy to help speed things up on my personal VPS. This seemed to work wonders and dramatically reduced the load on my VPS. Well I have updates
After agreeing to host a friends projects and one of his friends projects I ended up having to scrap nginx. It wasn’t that I didn’t think it was cool but it actually added extra load to my server for some reason. Let me explain, my f riend runs some pretty neat sites that get a lot of traffic. Some of them include www.mycodeteacher.com www.iphonedevcentral.org and www.topvoicesnow.com. All of these sites either have streaming video or streaming media in general. nginx just didn’t give me what I was looking for as it was causing issues on the sites and jacking my load up to the point it would crash the web server.
