Different web server on one domain

1. You can use (a) and (b) behind a proxy (c) — NGINX is my personal preferred server for that purpose because it is insanely fast and good on resources.

   http://nginx.org/en/docs/beginners_guide.html#proxy

   You’d do something like this:

   server {
       location / {
           proxy_pass http://localhost:{port for a}/;
       }
   
       location /wp {
           proxy_pass http://localhost:{port for b}/;
       }
   }
   

   ** note that {b} will know that it is at /wp. If you need the backend server to think that it’s at root (/), you can do it with a rewrite (also in the NGINX docs)
