Which software combination would be best?
Hi!
I'm building a new server for our webhosting business (strictly cPanel/WHM) and can't really decide which software combination would be the best.
Here is my list so far:
- CloudLinux: for server stability and resource control by user isolation.
- cPanel/WHM: WHM for us (to administer the simple tasks) and cPanel for our clients.
- Varnish: for performance and load decrease
- memcached/memcache: for sessions
- eAccelerator: for PHP scripts
Anything you think I forgot? Please add to this list!
---
I am not sure how to run PHP on this new server:
- we've had problems with suPHP (performance hog)
- we've had problem without suPHP (permission problems with Joomla, WordPress, Softaculous)
What would be the best solution?
I've read somewhere here that "FCGI with suExec" would work - is that right or am I confused?
Anything else I should think about?

Doing something similar.
Might want to explore LiteSpeed instead of Varnish.
Then there's Ksplice.
For HTTPD FastCGI with Apache MPM is all you need.
For MySQL I'm looking at Percona MySQL for some performance benefits.██ Laurence Flynn @ HostNEXUS.com

@NexDog: Wow, thanks for the suggestions, they look awesome
Right now I'm thinking of going with Varnish just because I want the server to be as similar as possible to our current reseller accounts which all run standard Centos+Apache+MySQL+cPanel/WHM.
