Nginx is a web server and reverse proxy designed for speed, scalability and reliability.
Get Nginx pre-installed on servers in the Netherlands, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Turkey, Poland, the USA, the UK, Spain, Switzerland and France.
Rent a Virtual (VPS) or a Dedicated Server with pre-installed Nginx - a free, open-source and self-hosted web server and reverse proxy. Simply select Nginx, configure your server and start working in just 15 minutes.
Nginx licenses are provided only for leased HOSTKEY servers. To get the Nginx application, select it in the Software tab while ordering the server plan.

NGINX is distributed under a BSD-like open-source license. This means:
With the open-source model, there is maximum transparency and community-driven development. Many businesses use NGINX in self-hosted setups because it is flexible and not locked to a specific vendor.
HOSTKEY provides the original, unmodified open-source version of NGINX. The stack can be customized, extended, or combined with other components without hidden proprietary restrictions.
This approach ensures:
NGINX is used as a web server, reverse proxy, and load balancer. It serves both static and dynamic content, distributes traffic across backend servers, and improves performance through caching. It is widely used to manage connections in front of application servers, especially in high-load production environments.
You can order a VPS or dedicated server from HOSTKEY with NGINX pre-installed. During checkout, select the appropriate configuration and OS image. Provisioning typically takes about 15 minutes, after which you receive root access and can adjust the configuration as needed.
Yes. NGINX runs effectively on VPS environments and is suitable for most small to medium-sized projects. VPS provides isolated resources and full administrative access. You can use a ready-made image or install NGINX manually. Performance depends on CPU, RAM, and storage type.
A VPS shares physical hardware with other virtual machines, while a dedicated server provides fully allocated hardware for a single client. VPS is more cost-effective and flexible, while dedicated hosting offers higher performance, predictable I/O, and better isolation. The choice depends on traffic volume and workload intensity.
Yes. NGINX uses an event-driven architecture designed for high concurrency. It can handle thousands of simultaneous connections and is widely used in high-load environments when deployed on properly sized infrastructure.
HOSTKEY provides infrastructure-level support, including uptime, networking, and hardware performance. For advanced NGINX configuration and tuning, expert assistance may be available depending on your service plan. Full root access allows you to manage application-level settings.
With NGINX on VPS, you get isolated resources, high-speed SSD or NVMe storage, and scalable CPU and RAM configurations. You can install NGINX manually on a custom image, but preconfigured images eliminate that step and reduce deployment time.
A VPS is typically sufficient when:
With dedicated NGINX hosting, you have full control over CPU cores, RAM, storage configuration, and network throughput. When maximum performance and isolation are required, dedicated servers are the preferred choice over VPS.
Choose dedicated infrastructure when:
NGINX dedicated hosting means all hardware resources are fully dedicated to your project.
Nginx is a fast and lightweight web server. It’s used to serve websites, handle many users at once, and act as a reverse proxy, load balancer or cache. Nginx helps websites load faster and handle more traffic efficiently.
Understanding the capabilities of the NGINX web server helps explain why it is widely used in performance-critical environments.
When your platform has a high number of simultaneous users, an NGINX server can handle concurrency without causing unstable response times.
NGINX can be used as a load balancer and reverse proxy to distribute traffic across multiple backend nodes and improve fault tolerance.
NGINX is commonly used to proxy and optimize API requests. It supports routing rules, caching, rate limiting, and SSL termination for backend services.
Choose NGINX VPS hosting for moderate workloads where cost matters. Use dedicated NGINX hosting when traffic is high and resource isolation is required.
