High Availability Failover Hosting
My Computer Chick's multiple server cluster with failover is designed for two purposes:
- maximizing website performance and
- eliminating prolonged downtime.
Our shared hosting is a similar solution to more expensive solutions used to host high traffic mission critical websites.
Typical Standard Web Hosting
The majority of shared web hosting providers offer a setup with no redundancy. If the server your website is hosted on fails, the end result will be prolonged downtime until the server is fixed. In addition, all major server software (web server, email server, database server) is located on the same server creating a bottleneck that can lead to slow performance.
The diagram above illustrates an example of a typical web hosting setup. One server carries all the load and if it fails your website will be offline to visitors until the problem is resolved.
My Compter Chick's Clustered Failover Hosting
My Computer Chick offers a redundant setup that distributes the load across multiple servers to improve overall performance. Additionally, all data including web, email, and databases 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.
