I would probably go with nginx, but it's more like a choice of preference rather than a technical one.
The bottom issue is load balancing, and I believe nginx is easier to set up for it (I might be wrong).

Is NginX or Apache better for a MMORPG game (something like this - https://web.simple-mmo.com/) I need something that can scale up to about 300 simultaneous players online.
I'm reading the comparison here - https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/difference-between-lamp-stack-and-lemp-stack/ and it says LEMP is better for higher loads of requests, better scalable, but LAMP is better for dynamic websites. I'm thinking I need a scalable dynamic hosting service. Which should I choose?
