1) The document discusses different technology stacks and hosting options for websites, including LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP), LEMP (Linux, Nginx, Percona, PHP-FPM, Exim), dedicated servers, and cloud servers. 2) It provides an overview of components in the LEMP stack such as Nginx, Percona, and PHP-FPM, noting their advantages over traditional components like Apache and MySQL, including increased performance. 3) The document emphasizes the importance of choosing the right hosting solution based on the needs and merits of the specific website, considering factors like cost, reliability, performance, flexibility, and administration.

- 4. GoogleGoogle “You may have heard that here at Google we're obsessed with speed, in our products and on the web. As part of that effort, today we're including a new signal in our search ranking algorithms: site speed. Site speed reflects how quickly a website responds to web requests.” - April 09, 2010
- 5. ConsiderationsConsiderations • Cost • Reliability • Flexibility • Performance • Administration • Support • Redundancy • Backups
- 6. LinuxLinux Apache Mysql PhpApache Mysql Php The LAMP stack is possibly the best know and most widely used stack. Its proven technology but its also old technology. The actual server could be a dedicated, VPS or cloud server. With shared hosting a site is one of many sites located and served from the same server. This means all sites can have a direct influence on the performance of the rest. • Well supported • Huge install base • Flexibility • Scalability • Security Pros Cons
- 7. IntroducingIntroducing LEMPLEMP • Linux • Nginx • Percona (MySQL)* • PHP5-FPM* • Exim* At first glance it may seem like it’s just Apache swapped out for Nginx but there can be more to it.
- 8. LinuxLinux Many flavours each with its own pro’s and cons.
- 9. Nginx (Engine x)Nginx (Engine x) • Event-driven architecture • Reverse Proxy • Light on memory • Static File performance Features Developed since 2002 Nginx is the worlds 2nd most used web having overtaken IIS (Microsoft in Jan 2012) Less is more, Nginx is lightweight. It doesn’t have as broad a feature set as Apache... by design!
- 10. Nginx (Engine x)Nginx (Engine x) https://timmehosting.de/benchmarks Excuse the German... “schneller” means faster. Results were for ten page loads averaged. Not overly scientific but a basic idea of what can be expected.
- 11. PerconaPercona Percona is a drop in replacement for MySQL. • Increased query speed • Lighter on hardware resources • Better scalability with less chance of requiring sharding • Easier troubleshooting - increased logging Features
- 12. PerconaPercona Copyright Percona 40% faster than standard MySQL in overall throughput Stable performance (drops in MySQL are checkpointing by MySQL)
- 13. PerconaPercona Your in good company...
- 14. php5-fpmphp5-fpm • Adaptive Process spawning • Graceful start/stop • Independently configurable process workers including UID/GID and php.ini • Use Sockets rather than TCP/IP and get 10-15% increase in performance FastCGI Process Manager Features Tip
- 15. EximExim A lightweight message transfer agent (MTA) developed by the University of Cambridge. • Configure as outgoing only agent • Sendmail compatible
- 16. DedicatedDedicated ServersServers Dedicated Servers are similar to VPS’a but where as a VPS is allocated a part of the hardware resources a Dedicated server has them all to itself. Dedicated servers are often found in complex multi-server architectures. • Highly Configurable • High Availability • Powerful • Dedicated Resources • Predictable Billing • Isolation • Administration Costs • Fixed Billing • Dedicated Resources Pros Cons
- 17. CloudCloud ServersServers • Highly Configurable • High Availability • Instantly Scalable • Lower Cost • Administration Costs • Unpredictable Billing • Integrity Pros Cons Cloud computing is simply the pooling of computer resources. In our world they are similar to VPS’a but the resources are on- demand and provided from a shared pool or Memory and CPU. As a result the resources are flexible and can burst as required. Cloud hosting is typically charged per minute + bandwidth hence the actually monthly cost can vary greatly. Utility Computing? This is the business model. • seti/BOINC(Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing) • Eucalyptus • Open Stack
- 18. Closing ThoughtsClosing Thoughts • Thousands spent on design & development will be instantly ruined if the hosting is not up to scratch. • Judge every site on its own merits when deciding on the correct hosting platform. • You can’t fudge server administration. • Web Hosting Talk and Whirlpool are great places to start doing your homework. But... just because you heard it there, don’t make it true.
