The only real reason people think that Apache is easy to configure is that there are now a crapload of front-end UIs for it. If you don't use those, it's still a PITA. Also, those front ends don't result in an optimal configuration. Nginx is no harder, and runs like the wind :-) @Keef: Bingo.

Apache can hardly be considered "simple". I had a nightmare trying to write the correct redirect rules when I changed my blog software and it still doesn't cope with every possible situation transparently. Agreed.

I didn't find this any harder or painful than configuring Apache for the first time. In fact, it might have been a little easier. So in my view, Nginx's configuration pain isn't really a point of contention that's worthy of argument :) Configuration of any high-performance server application is a nightmare.

There were a few things around the web showing how to do it, but lots of them didn't really do a good job of making things <em>good</em>. Nginx really needs a config front end. Then again, it's hard to make a front-end for something like this. But yeah, once it's up, it's rock solid! Yeah, I have to admit that the config side is a little rough.

We use Nginx at <a href="http://redant.com.au" rel="nofollow">work</a> for all our sites (some with disgustingly huge amounts of traffic) and it is pretty awesome! The problems we have had are all around getting the config files right... from what I undertand, the sysadmin(s) have issues at times getting it just so for live deploys. But once it's done.. it's a beautiful thing :) /dan Mate, talk about snappy!

I share the cost of hosting with my mate Dan, which works out well for both of us. It still puts us each back a couple of hundred in AUD per year, but that's not too bad considering the control we get. You can get VPS solutions with pretty low specs fairly cheap! <a href="http://vpslink.com/" title="VPS Link" rel="nofollow">VPS Link</a> have a low barrier of entry. Check 'em out! There's also slicehost which I hear isn't too bad. It totally depends on what you want and how much traffic you get. I share the cost of hosting with my mate Dan, which works out well for both of us.

However, what else can a broke college student afford? VPS seem to be really expensive ( at least on my budget). I agree that shared hosting sucks.
