APC Cache Considerations for Virtual Hosting Environments

By on August 22, 2011 in Wordpress

hared hosting environment with APC cache, because it does allow to set php.ini and fcgiwrapper for every individual virtual host, and so to set an individual configuration for APC per virtual server. However with 200+ virtual hosts all running PHP script packages, as is the case with a commodity shared hosting server, this will use a lot of memory, and you will need somewhere in the neighborhood of 10-30GB apc.shm_size if you attempt to configure… 11, 1, 4, 0 and 31.1

By on March 12, 2012 in Web Server Performance Tuning, Wordpress

Virtualmin now includes support for Nginx web server.

Load Balancing Virtualmin WordPress Hosting Server with Varnish on AWS

By on May 17, 2012 in Amazon Web Services, Consulting, Content Management Systems, Virtualmin, Web Server Performance Tuning, Wordpress

d. A simple and inexpensive extension of this system is to add CloudFront CDN, the “beta users” path. For ultimate reliability and speed, I propose the “users” path: This will take most load off of the Virtualmin/Apache and Webmin/MySQL servers, because the user will be interacting only with CloudFront CDN and Varnish Caching Servers.
