Using 1.3.0 now. So far, so good! What do you think? It’s running here live as we speak, along with memcached on my server. Pretty quick!

OK, I see. Let me know if & when you reach your limits with memory, CPU time, etc. Maybe I would be able to help you then. Good luck with your sites!

you can still fully SSH into the box. problem is that cpanel runs on apache and effectively creates itself as its own webserver so that even if apache is dead, cpanel will still run. So, if i need to run apache at all, to me, there’s not much sense in running another webserver software for the websites, which most likely will only cause conflicts (sharing conf files, etc).

I bought a WAY over kill server for this last upgrade (went from 2gb ram to 8gb, and wasn’t topping out the 2gb hardly ever), so I’ll be ok for a while, even with the extra overhead from apache.

With cPanel you cannot go into the system and do custom required modifications? In this case it would just one package installation for you. However you would need to alter Apache configuration as well (not sure if you can do this with cPanel).

Yeah, I realize there’s better solutions besides apache. Problem is that I need cPanel. I’m not great at linux, and cPanel makes my life way easier, even though i realize it’s weight.

Man, somone has to tell you that – try nginx. And get rid of that big fat indian. Probably, you won’t need that whatever-great-cache-subsystem finally.
