  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Question Any point having Nginx in front of Apache 2.4

PSi_101

Regular Pleskian
I understand that the purpose of having Nginx in front of Apache as a reverse proxy is to reduce memory usage essentially. This was the thinking when Apache 2.2 was commonly used and I totally get it. Nginx handled connections better, used less memory while doing it, etc etc.
Does this logic still apply to Apache 2.4 as I understand there are quite a lot of optimisations made to reduce memory usage?

I just should notice that Nginx out of the box without any configuration performs works much better, faster and more economical to resources than Apache 2.4. Many detailed confirmations of this can be easily found on the Internet. And yes, this logic still applies to Apache 2.4. Please find more details in Plesk documentation - Apache with nginx
