The Architecture of Open Source Applications: Nginx

I've used Apache forever and have always been able to tune it to get the job done. The thing that made me switch to nginx was the ability to use more than one SSL cert on the same IP. Now that I was "forced" to try it, I'm pretty happy with it.

there was never a time when nginx supported sni and apache did not.

Nginx requires an openssl version that supports sni -- that was added in 0.9.8f on Oct 2007 (if you compiled openssl manually to enable it), and was enabled by default in 0.9.8j on Jan 2009.

Apache supported SNI using mod_gnutls since 2005; and in 2.2.12 (July 2009) using openssl.

Technically correct, however for users that install from OS packages it's possible that they're getting a version of nginx that had SNI enabled and a version of Apache that did not.

Apache supports SNI as well.
