Linux hosting on failover cluster - Hosting plans

Linux Clustered hosting

Clustered Linux hosting

Website is hosted on a load balanced cluster with services spread-over two server appliances. Therein each service (httpd, mysqld, pop and exim) has multiple points of hardware & software failure. Network load is distributed aross two servers, one web-server and one database server. Each server stores a real-time copy of all web site data.

System runs a fail-over application that checks the servers every 5 seconds. If a server or service is not responding, our application will automatically switch over requests of all services to the available server. Thereby minimizing down-time and maintaining data integrity. Once the 'not responding' server is restored, services are switched back to the load-balanced configuration. Thus, your website remains insulated from single point of hardware or software failure. Please see our plans below;

Clustered hosting technology

Clustered hosting divides the website load among multiple servers and replicates your data (website, emails, databases) to alternate server in real-time. Multiple server cluster with service redundancy, is designed for two purposes - maximize website performance and eliminating prolonged downtime. Our enterprise level hosting, fault tolerant system is the same solution used to host high traffic mission critical websites.

Typical Hosting Setup

(Diagram has been simplified for display, maynot represent actual configuration)

The standard server setup deployed by the majority of web hosting providers consists of one server with no redundancy. If the server your account is hosted on fails or shuts down for maintenance the end result will be prolonged downtime. In addition, all server software (web, email, database server) are located on the same server creating a bottleneck that can lead to slow performance.

The diagram above illustrates an example of a typical hosting setup. One server carries all the load and if it fails your accounts will be offline until the problem is resolved.
