Lighttpd as it pronounced Lighty is really fast, convenient, secure and reliable server. It has a very less CPU load usage.

I have used Java with other web applications to connect with this server and it support web applications written in any programming language.

If you want to have light and fast server then you can surely opt for this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Other Servers Like NGINX, APACHE provide better support rather than Lighttpd.

Moreover for large CGI files this server don't work Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
