Hosting In 2 Different Locations For More Uptime
Mar 24, 2007
This week there was some one who asked me if he would have 100% uptime having his web site hosting in 2 different locations, with one server name pointing to a webhost, and the other server name pointing to a second web host.
For instance I want to host example.com on WebHostA and WebHostB
WebHostA's DNS are
ns1.webhosta.com
ns2.webhosta.com
WebHostB's DNS are
ns1.webhostb.com
ns2.webhostb.com
And he would set for instance for example.com:
ns1.webhostb.com
ns1.webhosta.com
He doesn't have a database, just a static page. For e-mail, he would configure 2 e-mail accounts in his email client, using the IP address of both web hosts to make sure he doesn't lose emails.
Wouldn't that work? He should have 100% uptime this way,

You know we done some great job on tweaking up WHMCS and also I think that we done some great job on setting up multi locations on WHMCS (almost 6
months hard work, almost hard…joke). Ok enough about us
So, actually we will show you some trick how to get coded WHMCS files work property for you.
You may think that it is another boring topic of how to or something, but unfortunately it’s not
I was looking for a lot of information of how to tweak up WHMCS and DirectAdmin together, but could find only bits and pieces of it…
In the mean time I would like to dedicate this topic to anyone who is currently seeking new web hosting services.
I had done one more post about how to get moving around hosting control panels, but still writing proper review about that confusing transfer process.
Choosing a web host for your business is one of the most important decisions you can make. If your site is down, your business is down. If you are
serious about your website and want to get solutions to your common hosting problems, this article will give you ten good reasons to choose for a global hosting company.
1.Hosting companies that work globally have different Data Centre to better service their customers. In case of a hardware failure, the system will automatically redirect traffic to the nearest Data Centre.
Don’t let server downtime and a slow connection cost you money!
2.Because of the different Data Centre, the backup systems are always secure. If a disaster strikes where your computer is located, your data remains safe in a remote location.
3.Global Hosting Companies work with a live support system. You can manage all aspects of your account 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No time zones for services provided.
4.A support team is available 24/7 via phone and email to provide top-level support when you need it.
5.Because of the variety of customers from different continents, global hosting companies are able to offer flexible systems. They give prompt reaction time to customers’ needs and expectations.
6.Global hosting companies offer multiple compatible languages and language capabilities
7.Offering support of multiple database engines and both versions of PHP 4 and PHP 5 applications.
8.A support team routinely updates your server’s operating system and hardware with the newest updates, latest security patches and upgrades to ensure maximum security.
9.Global hosting companies have an experienced migration team to do all proper migration planning so that the transition can take place without a hitch.
10.Most global hosting companies have their own community website that allows customers to communicate and offer advice, and to share ideas and business solutions with each other.
Starting a business is difficult and picking the best out of thousands of web hosting companies out there is very crucial. Pick the right company to go with.
There are many companies providing great web hosting services so feel free to search for one that suits your needs.
Please review any additional information maybe I forgot to mention something…
Also I got some bad reviews of my first post in forum; even some people treated my post as a spam, but in some way information sharing in not

I'd like to have the ability to offer hosting in two geographical and network diverse locations for both Apache and MySQL. Two entirely different instances, with different everything. ie: high avail to the max. Obviously the MySQL part is harder due to the dynamic nature.
I can appreciate the technical aspects of the question - such as data needing to replicate to 2 locations, dealing with static versus dynamic data, etc. In short, there's a few ways this could be done.
I've not been able to find a guide in my Google searches, but I'm sure this is something that has been setup before.
If you're someone with experience in having had set this up, perhaps it would be easiest if we just speak directly and work something out, either via payment or giving you a dedicated server on my network. My AIM name is IGSOBEHELPER.
Please note that I am hoping to start a technical discussion about this, hence I am not posting the message in the employment section. I hope this is not off topic because of this.

While every decent host claims 99.99% uptime, its amazing why most rather almost all hosting companies fail to display the related statistics from independent source on their sites.

i work for a small but fairly successful and quickly rising company. we're looking for hosting for our corporate site. we could host it ourselves but that would put an extra burden on engineering and we're stretched pretty thin as it is. we moved to bluehost on my recommendation. i've been using them for 2 years now and never had a problem. unfortunately less than two days after we switched the server is now down. it's been down for over 4 hours now and we've blown past several estimated times from tech support. i know this is a rare thing but it doesn't look good and i don't think the higher ups much want to stay with them. so here's some info about our site. requires SSI, CGI, Perl 5.8+ with Perl DBI 1.32+ and Perl DBD::Mysql > 2.1021+ Perl Modules, ImageMagick 6.0.6+ Perl Module or GD Perl Module (GD.pm 2.17+), PHP 5. small traffic with occasional spikes. approx 200 uniques daily. occasional spikes if we happen to show up in the news. we do have the possibility of showing up in all major US news outlets. it's happened once before which resulted in almost 1,000 uniques which quickly tapered back off to normal levels. we're currently using 154MB of disk space and 8GB of bandwidth last month. we need multiple ftp accounts to allow marketing and contract web devs to upload their own files. probably around 10 or so would be adequate. email not required. we have a hosted exchange server. uptime and quick response to server outages important. being a corporate site and not our application downtime isn't truly horrible but it is perceived as such. this site is our identity. we're a tech company and it looks bad when our corporate site is down. even when our application isn't.

My group is thinking about building a dual xeon clovertown server that we will be using to hosting multiple gaming servers. We currently have a server at The Planet but would like to get away from that since their high performance servers cost $300+ /month.
With that being said I will need somewhere to get the box coloed and having trouble finding providers that don't charge an arm and a leg for hosting.
I have admins in Las Vegas NV, Huston TX, and Memphis TN so anyone of those places I can get good latency too would be ideal.
The best deal so far I have found was colo4dallas that would cost us $100/month for colo and give us 200gig of bw but I would really like the server to be located in one of the cities I listed above incase something broke and we needed to send someone in.
Can anyone recommend a colo provider in one of those locations?

Few months back we migrated to a new server (Layered tech Savvis to Databank)
All has been running smoothly, better than before the move.
Over the last week we have had reports from a few clients in various locations across australia and a few in the uk that they can not access the server.
The DNS is resolving correctly for them and traceroutes have not proven anything.
Layered tech have not been real helpful, eventually they put me onto their network department who ran a global test which came back as the server being accessible from everywhere.
The problem appears to be intermittent

I have a client who says his site is currently down. He can not get to any sites on my dedicated server.
However, I can get to all sites just fine and have not seen any downtime. My host tech support says the server is online and responsive and has closed my ticket.
Ping tests (at www.just-ping.com) show severe packet loss from almost all locations (see screen shot below)
How else can I test if my server is visible from multiple locations? Are there other tools/sites I can try?

I am relatively new to Apache and have a query. On an Apache 2.2 server I have built.
I have 2 urls coming in from 2 locations. I need to forward these urls on, one to a backend weblogic the other will be proxypass'ed on.
The problem I have is that the 2 URL's are identical incoming and outgoing so I am struggling to identify between them.
I have been able to manipulate one of the incoming URLs so it drops through the proxypass but when I rewrite it it then drops back into the proxypass.
How I can separate this traffic? I guess using virtualhosts would be ideal but are unfortunately not available for me. Restrictions on new IP addresses and ports. This is an example of the config.

I am starting up a mail order bride website.
I already have a server in Malaysia that I am using to run an asain based site. Off a .asia domain.
I am currently in Malaysia just now and I noticed especially on the weekends the networks seem to slow alot in Malaysia due to everyone playing games at the Cyber Cafes (its what they do instead of pubs).
While back in home the UK the Internet seems super fast all the time due to are advanced infrustructure.
Now should I use my server in Malaysia (ultra cheap prices) to host the site so or get a server in Europe preferably America?
The pros i see for Malaysia is the potential brides in asia will get quick access to the site.
The pros for Europe or America is the customer base will get quick access.
I might be wrong about this, maybe the speed wont; be affected to much either way, but I am a newb
Also if i was to have both a server in America and one in Asia could I link them together under that same site name? and how would that work with the database?

We have a VPS with Media Temple. Their data center is somewhere on the westcoast. From time to time we have severe issues to connect from our Brooklyn/NY locations. We experienced the connectivity issue from 2 physical locations. Doing a tracert gave us a good result.
There are usually 4-8 users using our shop admin for order processing or the shopping cart for manual order entry. While they are having problems connecting from there, I can connect just fine from Calgary/AB, Canada. Most of the time no issues at all.
how to debug that?

I was wondering about what software can be used in a client-server architecture to collect bandwidth usage at one server, from several nodes at dispersed server locations.
Let us say I have two servers in two datacenters, and I want to collect the bandwidth usage (actual and 95th percentile) in a third server.
I understand collectd can do this in a client server setup, but I don't think it does 95th percentile. So I was looking for what other setups I can make easily.

If anyone can help me in doing this, I'd appreciate it. I searched to see if anyone had already done this, but I didn't find anything so my apologies if this has been answered before.
Here's what I have: 1 dedicated server with a static ip of course and currently, I run all my sites off of this machine as well as my few clients. The server is running CentOS and Apache.
What I want to do is build a new server at my house/office and create a secondary webserver that mirrors my current setup. I've heard about using Rsync to do this, but I want to know if it'll allow for the balancing effect I'm looking for.
Rather than use this 2nd server as a backup only, I want also use it for dns resolution. Right now, all my sites are using two nameservers (NS1.2D.NET and NS2.2D.NET), but they both point to the same IP address at the same location. I want NS2.2D.NET to point to this 2nd server for redundancy (in case the other location goes down) and also for balancing (to spread traffic over two servers instead of just one).
Eventually what I'm going to do is move all my clients and websites to one location again, but my own location so I can save the expenses of dedicated hosting off-site. However, I want to use this setup as a test to see if my own location will be able to handle the traffic and such.

I am shopping around for a new dedicated server and am running into sites that offer 100% Uptime guarantees.
Is 100% uptime possible? Wouldn't that mean that they never reboot their server, or never perform specific maintenance/updates on the server?
I guess when I see 100% uptime, I would expect perfection. I thought I'd ask here if this is possible because I'd hate to invest dollars on something false.

A web will be down due to many problems, like disk failure, web services dead etc. even ISP offers 100% network uptime SLA. So, my question is how to keep a web 100% uptime?
for instance, when any server(either db server or web server, either hardware or software failure)dies, the redundant server may immediately and automatically take over the dead one.

how come every web host says they have 99.9% uptime? I just saw a new webhost that started last week and they said they had 99.9% uptime. They've only been around for a week, they should have 100%. Why does every web host advertise that fact?
Next, how is that .1% lost? Do their servers crash for a second?
