1. A method of synchronizing configuration parameters on a server with a database of stored configuration parameters comprising:
- automatically updating at least one application program configuration parameter on the server in response to receiving an update of at least one corresponding stored application configuration parameter in said database, the update initiated by a particular customer of a web hosting provider,wherein each application program configuration parameter defines at least in part a quantity of a resource on the server available to the particular customer of a web hosting provider.

Abstract
A computer system comprises servers running application programs which are controlled, at least in part, by configuration parameters. The parameters are updated by first updating a database of configuration parameters, and then automatically updating the servers in accordance with the database updates to automatically maintain synchronization between the server configuration and the database.

7. An information processing system comprising:
-
at least one network server running at least one application program, wherein application program operation is defined at least in part by a set of configuration parameters stored on said at least one network server and associated with said application program operation; a database separate from said at least one network server and storing said set of configuration parameters; and a processor executing instructions to automatically maintain synchronization between said set of configuration parameters stored on said at least one network server and said set of configuration parameters stored in said database, wherein the server is operated by a web hosting provider and wherein each application program configuration parameter defines at least in part a quantity of a resource on the network server available to a particular customer of the web hosting provider. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)

10. An information processing system comprising:
-
at least one network server running at least one application program, wherein application program operation is defined at least in part by a set of configuration parameters stored on said at least one network server and associated with said application program operation; a database separate from said at least one network server and storing said set of configuration parameters; and a processor executing instructions to automatically maintain synchronization between said set of configuration parameters stored on said at least one network server and said set of configuration parameters stored in said database, wherein each application program configuration parameter defines at least in part a quantity of a resource on the network server that are made available to a particular user of the network server. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method of synchronizing configuration parameters on a server with a database of stored configuration parameters that is separate from the network server, the method comprising:
-
automatically updating an application program configuration parameter on the server in response to an update of a corresponding stored application configuration parameter in said database by a particular user of the server, wherein the application program configuration parameter defines a quantity of a resource on the server that is available to the particular user of the server. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
