Abstract
A network server manager includes a database of application program configuration parameters. The server manager additionally includes a dispatch module for routing configuration parameters to network servers so as to maintain synchronization between the database content and the configuration of the network servers.
Claims17
A server manager operated by a web hosting provider comprising:
- a database storing a plurality of application program configuration parameters, wherein each application program configuration parameter is associated with an application program, wherein each application program configuration parameter defines at least in part a set of server resources available to a particular customer of the web hosting provider;
- and
- a dispatch module for routing at least some of said application program configuration parameters to one or more network servers hosting said associated application program.
A database processing system operated by a web hosting provider comprising:
- at least one database table of application program configuration parameters, wherein each application program configuration parameter is associated with an application program, wherein each application program configuration parameter defines at least in part a set of server resources available to a particular customer of the web hosting provider;
- a queue of requests to modify said table of application program configuration parameters;
- and
- a dispatcher for automatically routing at least a portion of said application program configuration parameters to a selected server hosting said application program.
