Turning off the built-in HTTP server is typically for server owners or hosts that want to use another HTTP service like [https://httpd.apache.org/ apache2] or [https://nginx.org/en/ nginx] to distribute the client resource files. Doing this can also help improve performance of the host if you run more than one server using the same resources, need to tweak how the HTTP service distributes the files (connection/bandwidth limits, firewall, etc), or if the server isn't loading any resources that contain client-side files. | Turning off the built-in HTTP server is typically for server owners or hosts that want to use another HTTP service like [https://httpd.apache.org/ apache2] or [https://nginx.org/en/ nginx] to distribute the client resource files.
