After trying different blogging software, WordPress really takes the cake. It’s a good thing DreamHost has a one click installer so you don’t have to go through the hassle of setting one up. Awesome!

About lighttpd and nginx: We have noticed weird memory issues with lighttpd under some circumstances ourselves and we are definitely keeping an eye on alternatives.

If this happened to you, as it did to me while I was on vacation…really good tutorial here:

I’m back up and running now—and yes, upgraded. And with a new uncrackable password. :o) Thanks, DreamHost!

While the new auto-upgrade feature within WordPress itself is really cool, I’m seriously considering setting up WordPress-MU so all my sites run off the same WP install. That should cut down on the time required to keep both WP and all plugins up-to-date.

@Greg If you don’t necessarily like Apache or Lighttpd, you could always enable the admin user in your panel and install/configure NGINX yourself.

For what it’s worth, WordPress.com is served by nginx.

Google has even reported high usage of nginx as well.

@Dallas

You’re awesome. I love the upgrade feature of the One-Click installs.

I’m on a private server and have had great experience. The only thing I could ever want that Dreamhost doesn’t currently provide is NGINX web server support. Lighttpd leaks memory like a firehouse … and as such, the developers have stopped development of the current branch and are starting from scratch.

And we all know how well starting from stracth goes (Perl 6 – cough, cough).
