We configure Nginx as a front-end layer that accepts all requests and distributes them to PHP-FPM, Node.js, backend services, microservices or Apache.
We organize clean URLs, redirects, routing by domains, subdomains and paths.
Nginx is a high-performance web server and reverse proxy that excels at high load, static, caching, and load balancing. We configure Nginx for websites, online stores, APIs, and microservices to ensure that requests are processed as quickly and reliably as possible.

How we use Nginx in your projects
We configure Nginx for high performance, caching, proper HTTPS, redirects, statics, and load balancing across multiple services. This is critical for projects that receive traffic from advertising, operate during peak load times, or have complex backend architectures.
Nginx as a web server or reverse proxy for backend services
Speed optimization: static files, caching, and compression
We move static resources (images, styles, scripts, fonts) to the Nginx layer, configure long-term caching, ETag/Last-Modified, Gzip/Brotli, and correct Cache-Control headers.
This reduces the load on the backend and speeds up page loading.
HTTPS, SSL/TLS, and security headers at the Nginx level
We install and update SSL certificates, configure redirects from HTTP to HTTPS, modern TLS protocols and ciphers.
We add security headers (HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Content-Security-Policy as needed), as well as restrict access to service paths.
Load balancing and working with service clusters
Configure request distribution between multiple backend servers or containers, health checks, backup nodes.
Suitable for high-load projects, microservice architecture, and scalable environments.
Logs, monitoring, and basic security at the Nginx level
We configure access/error logs, log format, rotation, integration with monitoring systems and alerts.
We can limit suspicious activity: IP blocking, rate limiting, basic protection against brute-force and bots.
Our clients
Since 2010, we have delivered over 1,200 websites and digital solutions for businesses in Ukraine, Europe, the US and Canada.
Nginx setup cost
The cost depends on the role of Nginx in your infrastructure: a simple web server for a single site,
a front-end proxy for several services, a caching layer or a load balancer.
We take into account the number of domains, types of backends (PHP-FPM, Node.js, microservices),
requirements for security, speed, fault tolerance and offer the optimal configuration for your stack.
Why Businesses Use NGINX for Modern Web Infrastructure
NGINX is one of the most widely used web server technologies, known for its performance, scalability, and ability to handle large volumes of traffic efficiently. Originally developed as a web server, NGINX is now commonly used as a reverse proxy, load balancer, caching layer, and application gateway for modern websites and digital platforms.
Its event-driven architecture allows NGINX to process thousands of simultaneous connections while maintaining low resource consumption. This makes it particularly suitable for high-traffic websites, eCommerce platforms, SaaS applications, APIs, and enterprise-level systems where speed and reliability are critical.
At SAME TE STUDIO, we use NGINX as part of modern web infrastructure to improve website performance, optimize server resources, enhance security, and support scalable application architectures. Combined with caching, CDN services, and application optimization, NGINX helps deliver faster user experiences and more stable digital platforms.
Whether supporting a corporate website, online store, business platform, or custom software solution, NGINX provides a reliable foundation for handling traffic, distributing workloads, and ensuring consistent availability as businesses grow.
Common Use Cases for NGINX
- High-performance web hosting
- Reverse proxy and traffic management
- Load balancing across multiple servers
- Static content delivery and caching
- API gateways and microservice architectures
- SSL/TLS termination and security optimization
- Performance optimization for WordPress and eCommerce websites
- Scalable infrastructure for custom web applications
Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve gathered answers to the most common questions from our clients — from timelines and pricing to development specifics for different business niches.
01
How is Nginx different from Apache and when should it be used?
Nginx works better as a fast HTTP server and reverse proxy, especially with a large number of simultaneous connections and a large amount of static files.
It is often used in conjunction with PHP-FPM, Node.js, or as a front-end layer in front of other servers and services.
02
Do we need to completely switch to Nginx if the site is currently running on Apache?
Not necessarily. Often it is enough to put Nginx as a front-end proxy in front of Apache, leaving the current .htaccess logic and configuration.
We select an option: pure Nginx, a combination of Nginx + Apache or a combined scheme taking into account your tasks.
03
Can Nginx significantly speed up a website or API?
Yes. Proper Nginx configuration gives a noticeable speed boost:
static file processing, caching, compression, optimal headers, load balancing.
Combined with backend and database optimization, this gives the best performance result.
04
Do you help with configuring HTTPS and certificates on Nginx?
Yes. We install and update SSL certificates, configure redirects, encryption, modern TLS protocols,
HSTS and other security settings.
We make sure that everything works correctly and does not create problems with accessibility or SEO.
05
What do you need to work with our Nginx server?
Usually, SSH access to the server or control panel is sufficient, as well as information about the projects deployed on it (domain, stack, CMS/frameworks, backend services).
If changes are planned in the site structure or the addition of load balancing, we also agree on the desired architecture scheme.
Typically, our feedback goes like this:
Since 2010 we have received a lot of feedback from our clients.
There are so many of them that we need to make a separate website for them :)
That's why we publish only 26 of them.
