Agreed re memory. Nginx can run PHP; basically, you have Nginx proxy .php requests to FastCGI. Works well if you are coding your own PHP, but I don't know how well it would work with Drupal. And you are correct, that doesn't solve the problem that someone would have to learn Nginx to use it...<br><br>Not to repeat my plug for Bluehost, but just so I know, is there a reason that CLUE needs a VPS as opposed to shared hosting?<br><br>> <br>> Memory should be a pretty big worry when it comes to drupel. I don't<br>> know if and how much they suffer from it anymore, but back in the day<br>> it use to have a real memory problem. Nginx would be good if it can<br>> server PHP.
