Why Atlantic.Net Chose NGINX Traditionally, web development and hosting were done primarily using the LAMP stack – LAMP being short for Linux (operating system), Apache (web server), MySQL (database), and PHP (programming language), the core components which were then used to run enterprise sites. As web stacks and load balancers become more agile, and as business needs dictate better performance and stability, it is becoming increasingly common to replace Apache HTTP Server with a lightweight and highly scalable alternative, NGINX. With NGINX, the stack becomes known as LEMP – Linux, (e)NGINX, MySQL, PHP. Atlantic.Net offers a range of solutions that includes storage, hosting, and managed services. Our Cloud Hosting platform has a one‑click LEMP option that has your stack up and running in under 30 seconds. For those who prefer to run NGINX from Docker, we have both Linux and Windows Cloud Servers [ more… ]

Using NGINX and NGINX Plus with SELinux Editor – The blog post titled “NGINX: SELinux Changes when Upgrading to RHEL 6.6 / CentOS 6.6” redirects here. This article provides updated and generalized information. The default settings for Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) on modern Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and related distros can be very strict, erring on the side of security rather than convenience. Although the default settings do not limit the functioning of NGINX Open Source and NGINX Plus in their default configurations, other features you might configure can be blocked unless you explicitly allow them in SELinux. This article describes the possible issues and recommended ways to resolve them. [Editor – This article applies to both NGINX Open Source and NGINX Plus. For ease of reading, the term “NGINX” is used throughout. CentOS is a related distro originally derived from RHEL and is supported by NGINX [ more… ]

Based on our testing, we determined NGINX on commodity hardware exceeded the performance of F5 BIG-IP while providing cost savings of up to 84%. Since we published that report, F5 has refreshed the BIG-IP line of hardware load balancers, introducing the new BIG-IP iSeries. The iSeries hardware promises better price and performance compared to previous [ more… ]
