Abstract

Systems and methods of the present invention provide for returning website content after being requested by a client. A static component may be requested, which may be updated and a dynamic component may be requested. The combination of static and dynamic website content may be returned to the client.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

a) receiving, by a router communicatively coupled to a computer network, a request for a website content from a client, said website content comprising a static component and a dynamic component;

b) identifying, by said router, a data center in closest physical proximity to said client, said data center comprising one in a plurality of data centers;

c) locating said static component within a cache server component of an integrated web server in said data center, wherein said integrated web server comprises said cache server component and a shared hosting component;

d) requesting, by said cache server component, said dynamic component and an update to said static component from said shared hosting component; and

e) returning, by said cache server component, said website content to said client.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein said network is a content delivery network.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein said integrated web server comprises an edge server wherein said edge server establishes said data center as a regional distribution point based on physical proximity to said client.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein said cache server component comprises a web server component used to return said website content.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein said static component comprises streaming content.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein said cache server component comprises multiple caching layers.

7. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of determining, by said cache server component, whether said static component is contained within a local cache repository within or communicatively coupled to said integrated web server.

8. The method of claim 7 wherein said shared hosting component comprises an origin server component.

9. The method of claim 8 further comprising the step of requesting, by said cache server component, updates to said static component via a request for a cacheable content to said origin server component.

10. The method of claim 8 further comprising the step of determining, by said origin server component, updates required for said static component.

11. The method of claim 8 further comprising the step of updating said local cache repository with said cacheable content.

12. The method of claim 8 further comprising the step of identifying said dynamic component to be fetched from said origin server component.

13. The method of claim 1 wherein said dynamic component is determined to be incapable of being cached.

14. The method of claim 8 further comprising the step of locating in a database, by said origin server component, a stored content used in said dynamic component, wherein said stored content is located in a storage subsystem within or communicatively coupled to said integrated web server.

15. The method of claim 14 further comprising the step of processing, by said origin server component, said stored content, wherein said processing comprises:

i) analyzing said stored content; and

ii) determining whether and which said stored content should be displayed as part of said dynamic content.

16. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of processing a requested SSL certificate.

17. The method of claim 15 further comprising the step of returning said dynamic component to said cache server component after processing said stored content.

18. A system, comprising:

a) a client communicatively coupled to a computer network for requesting a website content over said computer network, said website content comprising a static component and a dynamic component;

b) a router communicatively coupled to said computer network and for receiving a request for said website content from said client;

c) a plurality of data centers communicatively coupled to said computer network having one data center in closest physical proximity to said client; and

d) an integrated web server in said data center comprising;

i) a cache server component within said integrated web server that locates said static component within said cache server component and that returns said website content to said client; and

ii) a shared hosting component within said integrated web server, said shared hosting component receiving a request from said cache server component for said dynamic component and an update to said static component.
