-nginx (pronounced "engine X") is a lightweight web (HTTP) server/reverse proxy
-and mail (IMAP/POP3) proxy written by Igor Sysoev.
+Nginx (pronounced engine-x) is a free, open-source, high-performance HTTP
+server and reverse proxy, as well as an IMAP/POP3 proxy server. Igor Sysoev
+started development of Nginx in 2002, with the first public release in 2004.
+Nginx now hosts nearly 12.18% (22.2M) of active sites across all domains.
+Nginx is known for its high performance, stability, rich feature set, simple
+configuration, and low resource consumption.
 
-nginx has been running for more than three years on many heavily loaded Russian
-sites including Rambler (RamblerMedia.com).  In March 2007 about 20% of all
-Russian virtual hosts were served or proxied by nginx.  According to Google
-Online Security Blog nginx serves or proxies about 4% of all Internet virtual
-hosts, although Netcraft shows much less percent.
+Nginx is one of a handful of servers written to address the C10K problem.
+Unlike traditional servers, Nginx doesn't rely on threads to handle requests.
+Instead it uses a much more scalable event-driven (asynchronous) architecture.
+This architecture uses small, but more importantly, predictable amounts of
+memory under load.
+Even if you don't expect to handle thousands of simultaneous requests, you can
+still benefit from Nginx's high-performance and small memory footprint.
+Nginx scales in all directions: from the smallest VPS all the way up to
+clusters of servers.
 
-The sources are licensed under a BSD-like license.
+Nginx powers several high-visibility sites, such as Netflix, Hulu, Pinterest,
+CloudFlare, Airbnb, WordPress.com, GitHub, SoundCloud, Zynga, Eventbrite,
+Zappos, Media Temple, Heroku, RightScale, Engine Yard and NetDNA.
