HIGH AVAILABILITY WEB HOSTING SERVICES

What is high availability web hosting?

It is when multiple servers do the same tasks in a pair or more.  This can be considered a power multiplier.  Two machines running your website not only gives you more ability to run the website but also gives you an immediate failsafe to stay online.  To cover the rest we implemented a multi-tiered backup strategy to make sure we have your data secured.

Sizing your hosting:  It is important to remember that one server must be able to run the level of traffic that you see.  In the event of one goes offline, the remaining one will have to have enough power to maintain service. The recommended size would be that one server can handle the work load at no more then 80%.  This ensures your service has at least 20% headroom to maintain service for your needs. 

Benefits of high availablity

Increased Uptime
  • High availability web hosting ensures that your website remains accessible to users at all times.
  • It minimizes downtime, which can negatively impact user experience and lead to loss of revenue, especially for e-commerce websites.
  • With high availability hosting, your website is designed to handle unexpected traffic spikes, hardware failures, or other issues without interruption.
Enhanced Performance
  • High availability hosting utilizes load balancing techniques to distribute incoming traffic across multiple servers.
  • This helps distribute the workload and prevents any single server from becoming overwhelmed, resulting in faster response times.
  • Load balancing also ensures that your website remains stable and consistent, even during peak traffic periods.
Improved Scalability

  • It allows for easy expansion by adding more servers or resources as needed.
  • This flexibility ensures that your website can adapt to changing demands without impacting performance or user experience.
Data Redundancy and Backup
  • High availability hosting employs data redundancy techniques, such as data mirroring or replication.
  • This means that your website’s data is duplicated across multiple servers in real-time, ensuring that data is always available.
  • In the event of hardware failure or other issues, the redundant servers seamlessly take over, ensuring uninterrupted access to your website.
Increased Security
  • Our high availability hosting includes advanced security measures as a part of its infrastructure.
  • This includes features like firewalls, intrusion detection systems, SSL certificates, and regular security updates.
  • These security measures help protect your website and visitors’ data from unauthorized access and potential cyber threats.
Disaster Recovery
  • High availability hosting includes robust disaster recovery strategies.
  • This ensures that in the event of a natural disaster, power outage, or any other unforeseen event, your website remains accessible.
  • Backup servers located in different geographical locations can automatically take over to minimize downtime and ensure business continuity.
Improved SEO
  • Search engines prioritize websites that have high availability, fast response times, and minimal downtime.
  • By ensuring that your website remains consistently accessible and performs well, high availability hosting positively impacts your SEO efforts.
  • It helps improve your search engine rankings, leading to increased organic traffic and visibility.
