Web Server Configuration

Setup, tuning, and migration for Nginx, Apache, OpenLiteSpeed, FrankenPHP, and HAProxy — reverse proxies, caching, SSL, and performance.

The web server sits between every visitor and your application, which makes its configuration one of the highest-leverage places to get right. I set up and tune Nginx, Apache, OpenLiteSpeed, FrankenPHP, and HAProxy — whichever fits your stack and traffic pattern best.

That includes reverse proxy and load-balancing setups for multi-server deployments, SSL/TLS with automated renewal, caching layers that actually cut load (not just configuration that looks like caching), and virtual host setups for servers running multiple sites.

If you're moving from one web server to another — Apache to Nginx, or Nginx to OpenLiteSpeed for a PHP-heavy site — that migration is planned to minimize downtime and verified against the original configuration so nothing quietly breaks.

What's Included

  • Installation and tuning of Nginx, Apache, OpenLiteSpeed, or FrankenPHP
  • Reverse proxy and load balancing with HAProxy or Nginx
  • SSL/TLS configuration with automated Let's Encrypt renewal
  • Caching layers — FastCGI cache, Redis page cache, or Varnish
  • Virtual host configuration for multi-site servers
  • Migration between web server stacks with minimal downtime

Frequently Asked Questions

Which web server is right for my site?
It depends on your stack and traffic. OpenLiteSpeed tends to be a strong fit for PHP-heavy sites like WordPress, Nginx is a solid general-purpose default, and Apache still makes sense where .htaccess-based configuration is load-bearing. I can recommend based on your specific setup.
Can you migrate from Apache to Nginx (or another server) without downtime?
Yes — the new server is configured and tested alongside the existing one, then traffic is cut over once it's verified to behave the same way, so there's no gap where the site is unreachable.
What does 'caching' actually save me, in practice?
For a typical PHP site, page or object caching can take a request that took hundreds of milliseconds down to single-digit milliseconds for cached pages — which matters a lot under traffic spikes, not just for average response time.
I have multiple sites on one server — can you set up SSL and virtual hosts for all of them?
Yes, that's a standard part of multi-site server setup, including automated certificate renewal so nothing expires unnoticed.
