ApacheBooster is an install and integration of nginx and varnish onto the server with an addition of a WHM plugin to manage it. This setup will reduce the server load spikes and memory usage, Also the plugin will provides the following features:

Restart ApacheBooster
Rebuild nginx Conf
Rebuild Vhosts
Nginx Conf Editor
Varnish Conf Editor
Varnish Tunner
Rebuild IP Pool
Show varnish stats
Purge Varnish Cache
Check for upgrade

Additional tweaking will almost always be necessary to configure it specifically for your server.

Install:

wget http://prajith.in/downloads/apachebooster.tar.gz
tar -zxf apachebooster.tar.gz
cd apachebooster
sh install.sh

Varnish

Varnish Cache is a web application accelerator also known as a caching HTTP reverse proxy. You install it in front of any server that speaks HTTP and configure it to cache the contents. Varnish Cache is really, really fast. It typically speeds up delivery with a factor of 300 – 1000x, depending on your architecture. A high level overview of what Varnish does can be seen in the video attached to this web. Varnish performs really, really well. It is usually bound by the speed of the network, effectivly turning performance into a non-issue. We’ve seen Varnish delivering 20 Gbps on regular off-the-shelf hardware.

Nginx

Nginx is known for its high performance, stability, rich feature set, simple configuration, and low resource consumption. Unlike traditional servers, Nginx doesn’t rely on threads to handle requests. Instead it uses a much more scalable event-driven (asynchronous) architecture. This architecture uses small, but more importantly, predictable amounts of memory under load.
