Web Server

[Pelina]

Hi everyone,

I would like to know if its possible to create 2 different web server clusters to host 2 different sites instead of doing virtual hosting on one cluster so that both websites would be on separate servers ?

And if I host 2 sites on the same cluster would it overload the Pis? (I think depending on the throughput of request)

Thanks guys.

yes, no.

What do you mean by "clusters" in this context?

It is possible for one web server to pass requests on to another (local) webserver via the Apache Proxy service.

I don't understand what you mean by "cluster". As long as you want serve more than one domain from the same IP address/port, you must rely to virtual hosts. You can serve different virtual host with different web servers (even on different devices), using a reverse proxy like Nginx.

The overload limit of a web server running on a RPi is due mainly to volume of requests it receives than the number of sites.
