Hi,
We have a new bare metal server we are using shared hosting and I wanted to make sure we are using the correct configuration for speed vs security.
I am slightly confused of what php-fpm is, in relation to cgi and suPHP.
php-fpm is installed and enabled, but then there is an option for php handler on the accounts under multi php manager too, which I have selected suPHP. I understood this to be the most secure option.
I have just read however that php-fpm with cgi is the better option for speed vs security.
with that, please can I ask…
1. If php-fpm is enabled on an account, is the php handler, cgi, suPHP, irrelevant and superseded by having php-fpm enabled?
2. If the above is not true and a php handler choice matters, on a shared hosting server, would you choose cgi or suPHP?
thank you
