Abstract
A website hosting system includes a request routing node and a plurality of security termination nodes coupled to the request routing node. Each security termination node is configured to secure connections between servers hosting websites and customers of the websites in accordance with a predetermined quality of service level. The request routing node balances incoming requests for secure websites among the security termination nodes based on an application-specific parameter (e.g., quantity of items in a product catalog, location, etc.).
