offers a 100% redundant setup that distributes website activity
across multiple servers to improve overall performance. Additionally,
all data (i.e. web, email, databases, etc) is mirrored in real time
in the event of server failure. This gives us the ability to offer
excellent server reliability and unparalleled uptime to all our
customers. If a server fails, the failover application will route
all website activity to an available server, keeping your website
online until the problem is resolved.
What is failover?
| Failover is the process of transferring operations of a failed
server to a backup server. This helps to ensure websites remain
online even during a hardware failure or maintenance. Failover
is used to host mission critical websites that require constant
availability and unparalleled uptime. |
How does failover improve
reliability?
In the event of
a server failure, our failover system will route all traffic
to an available server. This allows your website to stay online,
thus improving reliability. |
How does the failover
work?
| Our servers run a failover application that checks the
servers every One second. If a failure is detected, our application
will automatically initiate an available server to take over
all server services (web, email, mysql, cPanel, etc). This process takes up to two minutes to get all
server services failed over. Your website
will remain online on the backup server until the failed server is fixed. |
What type of servers
do you use?
The servers run Two Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors with
8 GB of memory, 10,000 rpm SCSI hot-swappable hard drives, and
3ware hardware Raid 5.
We use the Linux CentOS operating system exclusively as it is
one of the most popular server operating systems in the industry
today. It is constantly under active development which insures
a reliable, secure, and robust platform for web hosting environments. |
