Nginx (pronounced "engine x") is software to provide a web server. It can act as a reverse proxy server for TCP, UDP, HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, POP3, and IMAP protocols, as well as a load balancer and an HTTP cache.
Nginx setup in reverse will boost up cPanel/WHM Server. cPanel does not officially support nginx yet but we can set up nginx on cPanel using NginxCP installation script , which provide good performance with cPanel Servers.
Nginx setup in reverse proxy support static contents like css, images, swf file , javascript etc and forward the remaining dynamic requests to apache web server, that the process called as Nginx reverse proxy and Nginx behaves like front end server.
