Nginx is the most popular web server and reverse proxy, powering over 30% of the internet. A reverse proxy forwards requests to a backend application (like Node.js on port 3000). Static file serving delivers HTML/CSS/JS directly. PHP configuration connects to PHP-FPM for dynamic content.

The generated config includes best practices: SSL with TLS 1.2/1.3, security headers (X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options), gzip compression for text-based assets, and www to non-www redirect. Place the generated file in /etc/nginx/sites-available/ and symlink to sites-enabled/.
