hi all.
i, currently, run piwik locally on a VPS tracking 10 web sites. works well and has been working well for over 2 years.
i’ve been messing with openshift for a wee while and now have a piwik install on one of their free gears (it’s a very useful service…suggest you give it a go).
now my question is…are there any benefits to running the install remotely rather than on the box that’s hosting the websites? does off-loading the processing to another machine help both the websites on the VPS and piwik?
It will help to put Piwik on a more powerful server outside of your VPS. But if your VPS is powerful enough then it won’t change much.
