mod_php or mod_fcgid

[President-Anonymous]

Which do you have installed?

 

 

[Tony]

We run Litespeed which runs something similar to php-fpm when serving PHP.

Good

 

We're thinking of moving the site to HTTPS / SSL

Which would require us to purchase another IP address (If I am not mistaken).

 

But in our line of thinking php-fpm / mod_fcgid would be required for proper load balancing of our php (which you seem to have covered).

 

I'm just wonder now if you guys are smart enough to also have SPDY?  It's what Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia, and even Google uses for fast loading SSL.  I would imagine you guys have it already.

As Tony mentioned we run Litespeed. mod_spdy is an Apache-only module (all mod_* are). Even if we did run Apache we'd probably not run mod_spdy as it's going to add some strange complexity in a shared environment. Without testing it the behaviour can be wild.

 

Generally things like mod_spdy would be ran in a custom environment (IE: VPS, server for serving a few specific sites, not thousands).

Accourding to Liespeed, SPDY is a possibility (I contacted them before talking to you).

 

Thank you, you've answered all my questions.
