On-demand web-server execution instances for website hosting

A method for dynamic assignment of a virtualized execution instance for a server, the method comprising:

• receiving a request to access a specific website, the specific website having been built on a platform including at least common server code;
• determining whether the requested specific website is already hosted by one of a plurality of virtualized execution instances;
• and
• when it is determined that the requested specific website is not already hosted by one of the plurality of virtualized execution instances:
• providing to a first one of the plurality of virtualized execution instances, running the common server code, website specific code unique to the requested specific website;
• and
• providing, in response to the request, via the first one of the plurality of virtualized execution instances, a combination of both the common server code and the provided website specific code unique to the requested specific website.

A system for dynamic assignment of a virtualized execution instance for a server, the system comprising:

• at least a first memory location storing common server code for hosting a plurality of websites;
• at least a second memory location storing website specific code unique to each of the plurality of websites, the website specific code corresponding to one or more unique web page attributes;
• and
• at least one processor configured to execute software-based instructions stored in one or more memories to perform operations including:
• control a plurality of virtualized web-server execution instances, at least some of the instances running website specific code unique to at least one of the plurality of websites, and at least others of the virtualized web-server execution instances running the common server code;
• receive a request to access a specific website, the specific website having been built on a platform including at least the common server code;
• determine whether the requested specific website is already hosted by one of the plurality of virtualized web-server execution instances;
• and
• when it is determined that the requested specific website is not already hosted by one of the plurality of virtualized web-server execution instances:
• direct the request to a first one of the plurality of virtualized web-server execution instances running the common server code;
• provide to the first one of the plurality of virtualized web-server execution instances running the common server code, additional website specific code unique to the requested specific website;
• and
• respond to the request, via the first one of the plurality of virtualized web-server execution instances, through a combination of both the common server code and the provided website specific code unique to the requested specific website.

A computer-implemented method for dynamic assignment of a virtualized execution instance for a server, comprising:

• hosting a plurality of websites;
• storing website specific code unique to each of the plurality of websites, the website specific code corresponding to one or more unique web page attributes;
• controlling a plurality of virtualized web-server execution instances, at least some of the instances running website specific code unique to at least one of the plurality of websites, and at least others of the virtualized web-server execution instances running the common server code;
• receiving a request to access a specific website, the specific website having been built on a platform including at least the common server code;
• determining whether the requested specific website is already hosted by one of the plurality of virtualized web-server execution instances;
• and
• when it is determined that the requested specific website is not already hosted by one of the plurality of virtualized web-server execution instances:
• directing the request to a first one of the plurality of virtualized web-server execution instances running the common server code;
• providing to the first one of the plurality of virtualized web-server execution instances running the common server code, additional website specific code unique to the requested specific website;
• and
• responding to the request, via the first one of the plurality of virtualized web-server execution instances, through a combination of both the common server code and the provided website specific code unique to the requested specific website.
