  1. Does it risk taking down the server? by jeorgen · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Is it more like mod_php (installed at most web hosting companies) which is reasonably safe when it comes to protecting sub hosts from taking down the server and each other, or is it more like mod_perl (not installed at most hosting companies) where you'd better run it in a jail on a shared server?

      we run our php under suExec
      it makes php a cgi app rather than a mod but that's a trade we're making for the other cgi anyway.

      We decided that it's okay to trade speed for protection.
      We can buy CPU cycles.
