Abstract

A web application was developed by the means of web server NGINX in the Company “Group Tektron”. It was described the characteristics, advantages and disadvantages that web server NGINX has. An installing guide of NGINX was performed for operative system Windows. A web application based on programming language PHP was carried out fulfilling all requirements established by company. Apache Web server and NGINX were compared because the current a site uses the first one and it is proposed to have a new site with the second one. The used tools were Netbeans as an integrated development environment and MySQL as date base manager. The security level of web server NGINX was assessed through stress tests attacks of denial of service (DoS), so it was determined that NGINX improves 18% of security in comparison to Apache web server which benefits the company because the current web site is vulnerable to attacks of denial of service. Then, it is recommended the use of web server NGINX for any institution, because it is free, one of the best current web servers and resists any attacks of denial of service.
