Should I get Nginx web hosting?

Possibly, but only if you need it.

Apache is much more common. It is easier to manage, and it is almost always good enough.

You should use Nginx instead only if it would provide a strong benefit to your website, and if you have the technical savvy to manage it properly.

Your site might benefit from Nginx if you expect a large number of concurrent users, especially if they are interacting with content that cannot be offloaded to a Content Delivery Network. If you need to shard your site across multiple servers, Nginx will usually work for that as well.

You don’t need a great deal of technical savvy to setup and run a basic Nginx web server configuration, but you will need to be comfortable with the Linux command line and ssh, along with at least an introductory understanding of how a web server works.
