Failover Web Hosting

In a failover system, when one server develops a fault, its place is automatically taken up by another machine with identical content to ensure that the site continues to remain on-line even with hardware failure or software failure, dramatically reducing planned and unplanned downtime.

With Reliability of websites being critical it is hoped that by incorporating failover technologies it will help with the sites uptime and aim for 99.9% uptime no matter the amount of visitors.

The failover works by an application checking the servers every few seconds, if a failure is detected the applications operations will automatically be transferred to an available server take over the failed services. The cluster enables servers to work together, share processing, easing bottlenecks and offering higher performance.
