Alright, I have a dedicated server for this new idea with CPanel and want some opinions on the best way of handling this: I want my employees (writers) to be able to upload their pieces on one central site where they can track their pay (per article), article status (accepted or rejected), etc. Now the thing is for SEO purposes I want to use multiple IPs for the many sites, mixing it up as much as I can, yet for the above reasons probably need all the info in one database. Here is what I could do: 1) Use the same IP 2) Run a CRON job and make a text file for each article or something and do a readfile() or something. 3) Have the data sent out to other databases on each account (may get more a lot more complicated). 4) Connect remotely to the database (may effect speed?) Any other suggestions or how I may go about this? Thanks!
I would look at this as two different tasks. 1. Collecting articles and paying the writers 2. Distributing articles With part 1 SEO doesn't have to be a concern unless you're looking at hiring writers then it might be. Storing articles, their status and the apropriate author info is pretty trivial. Distributing articles can be handled lots of different ways: - Physically copy articles - Use some sort of web service/script that pulls articles to the remote server converts them to a local file and then servets them up. - Query remote sql database with (will effect speed.)
