Mmmm, Distributed Hosting
I once got into a flame war with the owner of FurAffinity wherein I recommended a distributed hosting setup like this for his horrible abortion of a website... he said I was stupid and didn't know anything about web servers... although, granted, that was before they started calling it "cloud hosting". :\

- I'll withhold judgment until I hear of your OS, along with some other things. — VX 21:59, 26 March 2015 (EDT)
- For web servers Linux is usually best suited (I think CloudLinux is the most popular flavor for the job presently). --U Mad Bro 22:05, 26 March 2015 (EDT)
- Kind of depends on whether you want your web server to perform most efficiently or most securely, neither of which GNU does best. For cloud, yes, GNU. — VX 22:18, 26 March 2015 (EDT)
- We use ubuntu 14.04 for everything except the worker instances (we use Ubuntu 12.04 there because -> PHP 5.3) and we use CentOS for monitoring systems (Munin + Nagios) SeeBeen 22:55, 26 March 2015 (EDT)
- People like to shit on CentOS because "lawl Red Hat" but as GNU goes, can't go wrong with CentOS. — VX 23:09, 26 March 2015 (EDT)
- You can't. I am RHEL certified, but i mostly use ubuntu 14 now because it has insanely low memory footprint + latest versions of packages. + Setting up nagios worker on it is 20x easier than on centOS SeeBeen 23:13, 26 March 2015 (EDT)

- I've never tried CentOS, I'll have to check it out. To be honest it's actually been quite a while since I even tried RedHat. I mostly use ClusterKnoppix just because I'm real familiar with it, but it's probably horribly outdated at this point. --U Mad Bro 23:34, 26 March 2015 (EDT)
