Scalable Web Hosting Platform
Why Choose This Project?
Web applications today must handle unpredictable traffic patterns — from a few users to thousands — without performance degradation. Traditional static servers can crash or slow down under heavy load.
This project offers a scalable, cloud-native hosting solution that automatically adjusts resources based on demand. It’s perfect for developers, startups, or organizations looking to host websites or APIs with high availability, fault tolerance, and cost efficiency.
It simulates a mini Heroku or Netlify, showing how websites can be hosted in a containerized, auto-scaled cloud environment.

How It Works
-
User uploads a static website (HTML/CSS/JS zip file).
-
Backend:
-
Unzips the archive
-
Mounts it in a Docker container running NGINX
-
Tags it with a unique port or domain
-
-
NGINX reverse proxy maps a subdomain or path to the container.
-
System auto-scales containers if traffic increases.
-
Admin can view logs, system metrics, and hosted sites in dashboard.
