When a server acts as the host for a website or an application, it is the backbone of this website or application’s functionality. The server provides resources with which the application can run on, as well as an internet connection that can allow for input from outside sources to occur, as well as output to other servers\/systems. Therefore, it is vital that the server hosting your website\/application<\/a> is in working order and has its resources and capabilities available to be utilized at all times.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Much like your website or application, the server that hosts it also has certain resources that it relies on for its continued operation. An internet connection is required for you and any other outside computers to access the server remotely. A constant supply of power is needed for the server to run. Internal server resources are also needed in order to allocate resources to programs, and finally, the operating system itself needs to be functioning properly in order for your website or app to function properly as well. If any of these prerequisites aren’t met, then your project or website will fail to run, making it inaccessible. This means that neither you nor any other people can reach your server. This is what needs to be avoided the most, especially in a professional context.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n This is where high availability hosting comes in. The concept of high availability hosting<\/a> revolves around making all possible variables as redundant as possible. High availability hosting comes down to a few key differences:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n There should never be a single point of failure that can occur with a high availability server – instead, there should always be a backup to make sure that when one aspect of the server goes offline, there is a secondary measure to keep everything accessible until the primary system is back up and running. The reasons listed above are what makes high availability hosting<\/a> so attractive to most businesses and individuals; it not only allows your business or project to be more professionally maintained, but it also keeps your data and projects safer in the process.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n There are also several types of high availability hosting, each with its own benefits:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n These mirrored servers all constantly update and synchronize within seconds to make sure that all data on one server is 100% identical with the data on all other servers of that type (web servers, database servers, etc). When using redundant load balancing servers, a floating IP address is used to ensure that the content found on all web servers can be accessed using only one IP address. With a floating IP address, you can have a failover system where if one server goes down, all traffic seamlessly transfers onto the other functioning servers, without the users ever noticing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n If you are looking for custom-made high-availability hosting do not hesitate to contact our support team via the live chat option on our website. They are available 24\/7 and can explain and answer any question about high-availability options for your website or application.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The time needed for an order to be processed and for your system to be online depends on what type of high availability hosting you order. If a completely custom setup is required, two business days are needed – one for the installation and configuration of the servers, and the second day for QA and testing before delivery. If a pre-configured setup is chosen, then the order can be processed and delivered in just one day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n If you are looking for custom-made high-availability hosting do not hesitate to contact our support team via the live chat option on our website.
