 Clustered
failover offers many benefits to your website:
In the event of a server failure our failover system will route
all requests to an available server within the cluster. And with
real time data replication that means you'll never have to worry
about lost data from dynamic content.
By routing database queries to a dedicated database server within
our multiple server cluster we can maximize overall performance
resulting in faster response times.
Our advanced web hosting solution allows for the highest website
availability and service continuity. We offer a redundant setup
that distributes the load across multiple servers to improve overall
performance. Additionally, all data (web, email, database) are
mirrored in real-time and in the event of a server failure our
failover application will route all website traffic to the available
server keeping your website online until the problem is resolved.

What is clustered failover?
A cluster is a group of servers networked together to share the
work load. Failover is the process of transferring operation of
a failed server to a backup server to ensure websites remain online
even due to hardware failure or maintanence. Failover is used
to host mission critical websites that require constant availability.
How does clustered failover improve performance and reliability?
In the event of a server failure our failover system wil route
all traffic to the available server within the cluster thus keeping
your website online and improving reliability. Additionally, by
routing database queries to a database server within the cluster
we can maximize overall performance resulting in faster response
times.
How does the failover work?
Our servers run a failover application that check the servers
every 5 seconds. If a failure is detected our application will
automatically initiate the available server to take over all server
services (web, email, mysql, cpanel, etc). Once all server services
are failed over (up to 2 minutes) your website will remain online
until the failed server is fixed.
What type of servers do you use in the cluster?
The servers within the cluster run Dual Intel Xeon 3.2Ghz processors
with 4 GB of memory, 7200 rpm SATA II hot-swappable hard drives,
and 3ware hardware Raid 1.
We use the Linux CentOS operating system 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.
