What is the best Webserver
Have you been wondering what is the best Webserver? is it the Famous Apache which almost all Web Host use? or its Tight counterpart Lighthttp or the new comer LiteSpeed
for people who does not know what is a webserver:
A webserver is computer program that is responsible for accepting HTTP requests from clients (user agents such as web browsers), and serving them HTTP responses along with optional data contents, which usually are web pages such as HTML documents and linked objects (images, etc.).
