Lighttpd Hosting
All OCS Solutions hosting plans come with the option to use Lighttpd as your web server to deliver your static content pages and dynamic web applications like Ruby on Rails.
What is Lighttpd
Lighttpd is a small-footprint web server written with speed and low resource usage in mind. It provides an up-to-date interface to FastCGI, which allows a significant speed increase in applications like Ruby on Rails and Python-based web applications.
Lighttp also supports PHP, virtual hosts, URL-rewriting (in the spirit of mod_rewrite), large file support, gzip/bzip2/deflate compression, basic and digest authentication, SSL, and SSI.
Lighttpd Hosting Support at OCS Solutions
We can allocate a port for you to run Lighttpd on. Our proxy settings in Apache will let Lighttpd host your content for your entire site, a subdomain, or just a certain part of your site. By running Lighttpd behind Apache, you get the best of both worlds.
