While it can be used as a simplified replacement to more feature-rich servers, it is uniquely suited to service high volume requests for static data—for example as an image hosting server. The first "t" in thttpd stands for variously tiny, turbo, or throttling.

thttpd has a bandwidth throttling feature which is not present in other open source web server software such as Apache (although throttling is available as an add-on module for Apache). Bandwidth throttling is a method of ensuring a bandwidth intensive device such as a server, will limit ("throttle" the quantity of data it transmits and/or Open source is a development methodology which offers practical accessibility to a product's source (goods and knowledge This feature enables the server administrator to limit the maximum bit rate at which certain types of files may be transferred.

A kilobyte (derived from the SI prefix Kilo -, meaning 1000 is a unit of Information or Computer storage equal to either 1024 This prevents the connection from becoming saturated so that the server will still be responsive under heavy load, with the tradeoff that file transfer speed is reduced.
