the only reasons I'd possibly suggest #2 are: 1. multiple SSL certs, it is still not easy to have multiple SSL certs on a single system, you either need to setup multiple IP addresses for that box or run on multiple virtualservers 2. If you expect the business to get HUGE for some of the sites, then you can spin up more VServers for only the sites that need to handle more traffic... Then you're probably talking about dedicated loadbalancers and much more hardware anyway
so barring those 2 conditions, I agree 100% with Jeroen that #1 is the way to go a -- Aaron Macks Sr. Unix Systems Engineer Harvard Business Publishing 300 North Beacon St. | Watertown, MA 02472 (617) 783-7461 | Fax: (617) 783-7467 www.harvardbusiness.org | Cell:(978) 317-3614 On May 22, 2011, at 12:54 PM, Jeroen Geilman wrote: > On 05/22/2011 05:43 PM, Isaac XxX wrote: >> Hi folks, >> >> I have to move some sites (10) from virtual hosts to a single dedicated >> machine.
