Apache HTTP Server played an important role in designing what web is today. It alone has a market share of 45.9. Nginx comes second in the list having a market share of 39%. Microsoft IIS and LiteSpeed comes at number 3 and 4 having a market share of 9.5% and 3.4% respectively.

Recently, I came across a web server named Caddy. When I tried to inquire it’s features and deployed it to testing, I must say it is amazing. A web server which is portable and do not need any configuration file. I though it is a very cool project and wanted to share it with you. Here we have given Caddy a try!
