I want to host my website in my raspberry pi, I’ve read that I would need a web server software for this. Which one do you recommend? It won’t be a complex website.

Is your site static or dynamic? If your site is made of good old HTML and CSS or your site is a SPA, any web server will serve it well.

I prefer Nginx as it is performant and versatile enough for most use cases.

Static mostly, I will have a few dynamic pages though.

If your dynamic pages leverage PHP, Nginx can be configured to support that via FastCGI. If your site has its own server runtime (e.g. a site written with NodeJS or Go), Nginx reverse proxy is literally its strength. So yeah give Nginx a try. I bet you won’t regret it.
