I run a website that gets a huge spike in traffic approx. once a month for 24 hrs.
Can you mirror one site on two separate servers and add load balance via the DNS records on godaddy.
exmp.
ns1.siteone.com
ns2.siteone.com
ns1.sitetwo.com
ns2.sitetwo.com
Is this possible? If one server goes down will I loose 50% of visitors or will it all forward to the up server.
Let's say I want to host DOMAIN.COM on one server, and FORUMS.DOMAIN.COM on another server.

I've just initiated myself to splitting the load between servers... in this case, one server delivers all the html/php/mysql/emails, another serves all the images... its an auction site so there are loads of images.
Just did some testing using Firebug, with 20 5-10kb thumbnails loaded from the image server, everything else from the original server... the results speak for themselves:
no browse cache:
current - 11.7 seconds
test - 5.6 seconds
refresh (checks modified date on some/all files I believe):
current - 8.6 seconds
test - 4.1 seconds
I'm not testing scientifically or anything but these times were fairly consistent over a few dozen trials. Obviously also there are other factors with network connections, server loads etc. From my primitive knowledge I figure that if you fork the requests down 2 or more paths, instead of just 1, then you are virtually doubling the amount of requests that are taking place, hence the page loads faster.
Is this consistent with what others have found? In this case I figure the images are the common denominator so having them on the 2nd server makes sense. I also understand that databases, emailing and other processes can be split onto a separate server...
On a final note, can I get a recommendation...
#server 1:
hosts html, css, javascript, PHP, MySQL databases, and sends emails... php 5 is required and security is very important
#server 2:
hosts images and will possibly stream videos... basically just a file system we can access from another site
What would be the advisable server specs and operating systems for each? They would not be under a heavy load for some time, but the idea is that they could be further expanded if necessary. I understand that lighthttpd is good for serving images?
and finally, I also require:
- a good host
- a backup solution
if anyone could recommend anything to me at this point that would be great!
P.S. don't worry, i'm not setting the servers up myself - but i'm kindof in the position where I have to make the decisions!

How do I setup a site to use two servers? One as a mysql server and the other as a web server.
At the moment I have the site on one server. When I get the second server what steps do I need to take to make this possible?
How do I secure the mysql server to only allow the web server to connect to it?
Do I need a control panel (i.e. cPanel) software on the mysql server?
Would it be possible to split website components transparently across 2 servers and make it look like a single site? For example: run a forum on ServerA and a wiki on ServerB, but with the same base URL? Doing this will allow me to buy smaller servers instead of a single huge server.

I'm trying to find at least three web hosting companies to choose from to host a Joomla websites on a shared server. Would consider dedicated if the deal was right. I have a friend of mine who wants to create a church website, and is looking for the best deal. I use Netfirms which I have never had an issue with, but I didn't want to be bias, and would like give him other options to choose from.
Is there a good WebHosting Review site, I could check out, or maybe someone could recommend their top three. I reading threw the forums here and I noticed there are not that many complaints with Hostgator. Again, I just want to see if there was anything out there better.
I would just like to no how you would load balance 2 sites. Would this be done via dns settings. EG
instead of seting the domain to something like
ns1.server1.com ns2.server1.com
would it be?
n1.server1.com ns2.server2.com
My forum is becoming more and more active and i would like to know how to setup a website on two servers. Ive seen many sites using www0.example.com and www1.example.com. Is this difficult to do?
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe are developing a new web site that will be collecting private information (no credit cards - only names, phones, email addresses and potentialy addresses etc).
Our company will be based in the EU and the target audience will largely be located in the EU.
We were thinking of using some of the very respected US companies like theplanet or softlayer that have very good prices for a quality service instead of the more expensive and less flexible EU based solutions.
But I was wondering whether this would violate the EU privaxy regulations (not sure if softlayer or theplanet are part of the US Safe Harbor) or whether there would be a way to cover ourselves (e.g. special contractual binds with the provider (which i am hoping would be part of their standard SLA/T&C) or by mentioning in the Terms & conditions of our site that data will be stored in the US.
Here is what I am trying to do, to set up a WordPress powered site to be run across two servers for load balancing. The two servers are dedicated and I have the load balancing software installed and set up. I need to set up the site so that both of them are accessed, but to also have the same content. The main concern is for the same content.
WordPress uses a MySQL database to place all of the content there, so the main thing I would need is to set up the databases so they are synched on both servers, so that the same content is showing up on both of the servers, and so I don't have to manually upload data to the database every few hours, that would suck. I have already found a script to connect to a remote mysql server, it is called HyperDB, but I was wondering if there are any better ways.
As somebody who has bought the 'Build Your Own ASP.NET 2.0 Web Site Using C# & VB' by CRISTIAN DARIE and ZAK RUVALCABA, I wonder what Hosting deals are considered the best and most user friendly (robust and support).
By this I mean, the most competitive for users like me who are just learning the technology and maybe want to set up some basic book examples online using SQL 2005.
i can host my web applications locally and my database connections are still intact but how can i host my web applications designed wit DW on a public server without the database connection being broken?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have looked far and wide for a hosting company that supports ASP.NET as well has SQL server (and that allows remote connections via MS Enterprise Man). I have used Godaddy for years, but trying to access a SQL or MySQL db for development is complicated and pathetic. I have looked at many new Hosting CO's, including m6,1and1,ixwebhosting,************,hostmonster,bluehost, and others mentioned here; but All I can find is dozens of reviews, mostly bad and very few good, on about ANY company that I google for except the ($20+) monthly ones. I have found a site called reliablesite.net, that interests me. (I am non profit org paying out of my pocket). I have seen good reviews but a couple that are very 'bad' for me, such as no sites hosted on this provider, no phone number or where the company is at. Any insights on the provider. I am needing an ASP.NET / SQL provider (low volume traffic). (I found a reliable ? discountasp.net but there price w/SQL is too high..) , so am looking at reliablesite.net.

Well when it comes to anything that isn't windows hosting, I'm pretty knowledgeable about but when it comes to windows hosting I'm clueless about it as I pretty much never have any need for it. One of my business partner is looking to place there site on a more affordable hosting since there current rate is pretty high.
They have a simple site, which they are really not looking to get much traffic or use anymore then 2gigs of space. Probably needs at least one MS SQL Database and that's it. No more then 5gigs of bandwidth. All they want is something for show thats it, other then that they don't utilize the site for anything.
Can anyone recommend a good host for this with 24/7 live support?
I have agreed to update website A (with url A) on host A. Both are rubbish.
I would like to build the new site with host B for various reasons (essentially I want / need more than one 50Mb database).
If I build the new site B on host B under a temporary URL, I'll then need to transfer the domain from host A to host B. So my questions are:
How easy is it to transfer url A to host B and to point to site B? What will happen to the approx. 70 email addresses on host A? Will I have to manually recreate them at host B and any emails stored on the server will be lost?
I own a few domains without websites; is it a good idea to show ads on them; do people actually earn anything by displaying ads on empty domains; my current hosting plan doesn't have quota for additional domains so how do I do that without buying a hosting.

I have always had cpanel reseller hosting accounts and am familiar with WHM. However I need to spread my sites out a bit and am noticing that multiple hosting is a fair bit cheaper than reseller. I don't host for others so dont really need reseller but am used to whm.
My question is how does multiple site hosting work? As I understand it you just have one logon with one ftp account. How do you upload and seperate/configure your sites? and can I still use .htaccess files for redirects?

(uptime, CPU load limits, space, bandwidth etc.)
I have looked at webstrikesolutions.com, lunarpages.com, and hostgator.com but i'm not sure if any of those are any good, because personally I have no direct experience
with them.
I am not a programmer. I saw boonex software and i liked it.
I am thinking to launch similar site for my univesity.
I am expecting to have 40 000 users, and maybe 4000 users logging in at the same time.
I saw shared hosting offering lot of storage and bandwidth, like hostgator, vistapages, servage.....
My question is: do you think these shared hosting can handle my site? because i dont want to end up for dedicated server , specially that it is free site.
I am planning on starting an online arcade site, as well as work on other projects. Probably will start a network of websites to do the obvious.
I need:
- A good amount of bandwidth (as i plan to pay for advertising) (500GB+?)
- A decent amount of space to host multiple projects (25GB+?)
- Support for hosting unlimited domain names
- Unlimited MySQL databases
- Unlimited pop3 email accounts
- Support for PHP, AJAX
I am not planning on hosting any adult content or doing any reselling. I just plan to start up multiple websites and need space to experiment. As for a budget, i'd like to pay quarterly, so 20$ max every 3 months for now. Let me know what ya got,
