WSNG

Before deploying Web Server NG, make sure the web server meets the following requirements.

Note: This server can provide the following services: CloudBlue Commerce UI, branding, domain parking, phpMyAdmin, and phpPgAdmin services. For detailed information refer to CloudBlue CommerceLinux Shared Hosting guide > Deploying Linux Web Hosting > Installing Additional Services.

One of the following servers can perform the role of a web server:

  • Physical server with a Cloud Linux distribution installed
  • Virtual machine with a Cloud Linux distribution installed

    Note: Container solutions are not supported.

Note: For more information on the Cloud Linux OS, see Cloud Linux official website.

According to the statistics gathered from the real installations, the web server load will be of the following average: 50-100 requests per one second for every 10,000 websites. You can expect such load to be handled by the web server.
