How these alternatives were chosen
Tools Nginx names as alternatives that this directory also publishes, followed by others in Hosting. The order is not a ranking, and "—" means we have not checked that field — not that the answer is no.
Nginx also lists Apache HTTP Server, Caddy, Traefik, HAProxy, Envoy Proxy as alternatives. Those are not in this directory yet, so there is nothing to compare — and nothing to link to.
