cPanel | Server Management Tips

The cPanel new version v66 introduces a new feature that facilitates users to remotely store their data and access it from any part of the world. This is established using the Google Drive feature that enables users to configure server backup directly to this cloud storage. You can save up to 15GB server space by using this feature. Let’s take a quick look at a brief overview on setting this up in cPanel.

What is PHP-FPM?

PHP FastCGI Process Manager (PHP-FPM) is an alternative FastCGI daemon for PHP that makes a website capable of handling strenuous loads. By setting specific amounts of resources, it even allows a host to process a domain’s requests. To accomplish this, the PHP-FPM maintains “pools” (workers available to respond to PHP requests) where these “pools” of workers allow the website to handle more requests than it normally could.

PHP-FPM is faster than traditional CGI-based methods such as SUPHP for multi-user PHP environments. It does not overload a system’s memory with PHP from Apache processes like ruid2+php-dso does. This method is useful when a user receives extra traffic that requires resources to process it. For example, your website may receive a spike in traffic after a TV show features it or is linked from a popular website.
