幾種Web服務器比較

1、注意到有這款服務器nginxo沒聽過，一查有了下文。其中有一個還是聽過的。對照翻譯了下文。Apache and IIS are the most common web servers in use today, but they are far from alone. There is a huge amount of web server software out there, both free and commercial.到目前，Apache和IIS是用的最為普遍的Web服務器，但是它們太過單一，在此之外這里還 有許多Web服務器軟件，或是免費的或是商業(yè)的。In this articl

2、e we present four popular alternative web servers: Lighttpd, Nginx, LiteSpeed and Zeus. The first two are free and open source while the other two are commercial, closed-source alternatives. What they all have in common is that they focus on high performance.本文我們介紹四種最受歡迎的Web服務器：Lighttpd, Nginx, Lite

3、Speed和Zeus。前 兩個都是免費且開源的，而另兩種都是商業(yè)的，閉源的。它們的共同點在于都著重于高性能上。We will also take a look at how many websites are actually using these web servers. 我們看看有多少網(wǎng)站實際上在使用它們。But first a brief presentation of each of one:首先一個簡短的介紹其中之一：LighttpdBrief info: Pronounced “Lighty”，Lighttpd is as the name implies a small, li

4、ghtweight web server which has a low memory footprint and light CPU load. Lighttpd is a good alternative to serve static content but it has also gained recognition in the Ruby on Rails and PHP communities.Lighttpd的名稱暗示小，輕量級web服務器，占用內(nèi)存小且cpu負荷低。Lighttpd是 服務于靜態(tài)內(nèi)容的不錯選擇。然而它更被公認為是用在Ruby和PHP上。Used by: Wiki

Nginx is known for stability and simple configuration in addition to its low resource consumption. It can also act as an IMAP/POP3 proxy.Nginx是一款輕量級web服務器和反向代理。最初由Igor Sysoev編寫。它的出名在于其穩(wěn)

7、定性和簡單的配置，除此之外低資源消耗。還有它可以作為IMAP/POP3協(xié)議。Used by: Yellow Pages, Hulu, Zimbra, the Friends for Sale Facebook app, Rambler, and it also seems that W just started using it instead of LiteSpeed.Cost: FreeOpen Source: YesOS platforms: Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, MacOS XHomepage: HYPERLINK /pZnginx /pZnginxLite

8、SpeedBrief info: LiteSpeed is a commercial web server designed specifically for large websites. One of LiteSpeeds advantages is that it can read Apache configurations directly which makes it easy to integrate with existing products to replace Apache. The server is lightweight and as the name implies

9、 very fast.LiteSpeed 一種被特別設計用作大型網(wǎng)站的商業(yè)web服務器。其中一個優(yōu)勢就是它能 直接讀取Apache的配置信息。并輕易將它現(xiàn)有的產(chǎn)品結(jié)合在一起來代替Apache。 這種服務器是輕量級的就如它的名字暗示出非常快。Used by: Wordpress (until recently at least, but now W appears to be using nginx), Twitter, GigaOm, Bravenet.Cost: Free to $1,299 depending on the edition.Open Source: NoOS platfor

11、 a highly flexible enterprise product.Zeus web server是一個高性能的web服務器。它曾被PC Magazine Editors Choice授過獎并且eWeek/PC Magazine Innovation也授予過它獎項。Zeus是一 種高度靈活的企業(yè)產(chǎn)品。Used by: Sony, Telefonica, Virgin media, phpBB.Cost: $1,700 up to two physical CPUs; $850 per additional CPU.Open Source: NoOS platforms: Linux,

12、FreeBSD, Solaris, HP-UXHomepage: HYPERLINK /p/zeus-web-server /p/zeus-web-serverHow many websites are using these web servers? According to Netcraft, Lighttpd is currently the most common of these four web servers. On April 1, the numbers of websites for each were as follows: 有多少網(wǎng)站在使用它們？根據(jù)Netcraft統(tǒng)計

13、，Lighttpd是當前這四種服務器中最普遍的。在4月1日統(tǒng)計到的網(wǎng)站數(shù) 字。Lighttpd: 1,495,308Nginx: 1,018,503LiteSpeed: 668,030Zeus： 420,477These positions were not always the same, though. As you can see by the following graph, which shows the numbers from January 2006 to April 2008, the situation has changed significantly over time

14、.然而這個形勢并不一直是一樣的。通過下圖你可以看到從2006年1月到2008年4月，形勢 隨著時間而改變著。h cpen SQLiirce china二開源中國社區(qū)，oc-hina.ne-tThe graph is based on data from Netcraft (their web server survey archives).The huge leap for Lighttpd in January-March of 2007 is most likely due to one or more web hosting or domain registration companie

15、s switching over to Lighttpd either for their regular pages, or for parked pages, or both. If anyone knows what happened there in more detail, please feel free to let us know in the comments.2007年1月到3月，很可能歸咎于一個或多個web服務商或域名注冊公司轉(zhuǎn)變使用Lighttpd。 發(fā)生了什么如果有人知道的更詳細些Interestingly, the number of servers using t

16、he Zeus web server has remained quite constant over the last two years, and even decreased a little. That said, it is mainly an enterprise solution, so this is perhaps not so surprising.非常有趣的是，過去兩年使用Zeus作為服務器的數(shù)量維持在一個非常恒定的狀態(tài)。而且減少 了一點點。可以說，它主要是針對企業(yè)解決方案。所以從這點上是不值得驚訝的。The two web servers that have been growing the fastest lately are Nginx and LiteSpeed. Nginx recently passed the one-million-websites mark.Nginx和LiteSpeed這兩種服務器增長速度很快。近來Nginx已經(jīng)超過了一百萬個站點These numbers of course st
