Hi All,
I have PHP web application (IE: ToDo List - (may be SaaS)), zipped and stored in out of /www folder with an sql file
If a client subscribe using mysite.com/pricing page system will create a directory for the client as /www/clients.mysite.com/client-biz-name-ID/ and unzip the master application and then create database as **client_ID **and import the above sql file in to that.
Meantime it will update the connect.php file with new database name. User and password will be same every time (pre-built one).
After that it will email the client the url to access the application with their login credentials.
IE: https://clinets.mysite.com/123-company-pty-9qw8272394
And then there might be some developments according to the client’s request.
That’s it.
(Stop laughing 😋). I studied all these php, php framworks, CMS, server configurations, database management and other few full stack stuffs using the internet only and doing these things for last 10 years.
Am I doing anything wrong? or is there a proper/best way to do these kind of operation?
Waiting for your kind and positive advices…
Cheers!

Hi there @THAS,
I personally believe that this is a quite good and solid setup.
Of course, there are other options out there as well, for example:
-
You could Dockerize your application and deploy separate containers for each client application, that way you will have a better separation between the applications.
-
Another option would be to use the new DigitalOcean app platform. That way you will be able to take advantage of features like vertical and horizontal scaling, push-to-deploy support, introspection and etc.

Hello @bobbyiliev,
**Thank you very much for your valuable response. That encourages me a lot! ** Another thing I have to know is, if I give a unique subdomain and a unique port for each client,
IE: client1.mysite.com:9001 and client2.mysite.com:9002
Will this helpful to reduce server faults like bottleneck issues/performance issues when there is a heavy traffic.
Regards, @THAS
