Use cases

Real Nginx workloads
that need a real VPS.

Reverse proxy for Node / Python / Go

Standard production pattern: Nginx in front, app on localhost. Handle TLS, gzip, rate limits, request buffering at the Nginx layer.

Static site hosting

Astro, Next.js export, Hugo, Jekyll - all build to static files. Nginx serves them directly from NVMe at line speed. The 1 GB plan handles substantial traffic.

Load balancer for multiple backends

upstream block in nginx.conf rotates traffic across N upstream servers. Health checks via the open-source health_check directive in OpenResty.

TLS termination + Cloudflare origin

Cloudflare in front, Nginx as origin. Use Cloudflare Origin Certificates for end-to-end encryption with Cloudflare doing the public TLS.

Rate limiter / WAF

limit_req zones plus optional ModSecurity rules give you a solid WAF without paying for a managed product. Tune to your traffic.

Streaming / RTMP server

Add the RTMP module for live video streaming - OBS pushes RTMP to your Nginx, viewers pull HLS. The 4 GB plan handles dozens of viewers per stream.

FAQ. Nginx VPS

Common questions, straight answers.

What is an Nginx VPS?
An Nginx VPS is a self-managed virtual private server where you run Nginx as your web server, reverse proxy, or load balancer. Full root, your nginx.conf, your modules - no platform restrictions.

Which Nginx version is current?
Modern Nginx versions are available via apt on Ubuntu/Debian and dnf on Alma/Rocky. The official nginx.org repo carries stable and mainline. Use stable for production unless you need a mainline-only feature.

Can I compile Nginx from source?
Yes. Nginx is straightforward to build - apt-get build-essential libpcre3-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev, then download the source, ./configure with your modules, make, make install. Many teams do this to enable Brotli, RTMP, or ModSecurity.

How do I get a free TLS cert?
Run Certbot - apt install python3-certbot-nginx, then `certbot --nginx -d yoursite.com`. Free Let's Encrypt cert, auto-renewal, no manual work after install.

Nginx vs Apache - which should I run?
Nginx is faster for static content and reverse proxy use - it's event-driven, low-memory. Apache has more features for complex .htaccess workflows and shared hosting setups. For modern apps behind a load balancer, Nginx is the default.

Can I run Nginx as a load balancer?
Yes. The upstream { } block in nginx.conf lets you load-balance across multiple backends with round-robin, least-conn, or IP-hash. Pair with HAProxy if you need L4 (TCP) load balancing alongside HTTP.

How do I tune Nginx for high concurrency?
worker_processes auto, worker_connections 4096, tcp_nopush on, sendfile on, gzip on. The default config is conservative - tune to your hardware. The 4 GB / 2 vCPU plan with these tweaks handles thousands of req/s.

Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes - 14 days, full refund, no questions asked. Cancel from the panel anytime in the first two weeks.
