Looking for an architecture advice. We have one inquiry where a customer wants a scalable solution using cpanel. Customer wants to host 300 applications/websites on a server with cPanel/WHM and cloudlinux. CPU, RAM and HDD requirement will go on increasing as more applications will be added in future. There will be a common MySQL database used by this applications. My question is can we setup multiple cPanel servers with a common MySQL server deployed on a dedicated server or common storage ?

  You need more than one database for these applications. That's just asking for trouble here. If you're going to insist on using a single database, then make sure you've at least got redundant MySQL servers setup. This is something you should definitely not rely on forum help or advice for.

  Hello @geekbaaz, While technically possible, we strongly recommend that you only connect one cPanel & WHM server to each remote MySQL server. If you connect multiple cPanel & WHM servers to one remote MySQL server, you may experience database and username conflicts.
