What is the best setup for high performance WP + .htaccess

[Kyzoehosting]

Hello,

We are exploring the possibilities for using CWP on VPS servers for our clients, while 99% procent of the clients run WP we are looking for the fastest setup to host WP sites. BUT yes there is a BIG BUT:

We need to be able to use .htaccess files

What would be your preffered set-up, and do you have a tutorial for me.

Nginx + Varnish + Apache.
Here's how: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PeACKK4Mq4
Works great for me and my clients.

NGinx + apache + php-fpm with php 7.xx apcu and opcache enabled.

Thanks, For the comments. In this case htaccess will keep working?

[Igor S.]

Yes, .htaccess will working.
But I would recommend using nginx rules instead of .htaccess and install nginx+PHP-FPM 7.x

Why would that be, and what are the advantages for this setup.

Maybe for your info:

The setup will be used mainly for WordPress at a VPS which run max. 10 sites.

Our test server, will run a few WP sites, then also our support ticket system and WHMCS.

You don't recommend using Varnish?

[Igor S.]

I do not like Varnish (stupid thing) and would not recommend it. Especially you do not have a lot of RAM
