Website Redundancy

How important is your website to you, is it an essential asset to your business? If the answer is yes, what is your backup plan if your website goes down?

You need to consider certain basic aspects about your hosting.

1. Your web space itself
2. Where is the backup of your website and database (if any)
3. Is your email stored separately and is that backed up
4. Can you access your DNS settings to change them in an emergency

When choosing your hosting provider, you need to ask them about your website redundancy, you will find most of them don't have the answer or they are honest with you and the backup is your problem. With Attain, your website becomes our concern, which is why we have backups of your site and database, we make sure we can access your DNS with your approval and we make sure your email is secure and backed up just like your website.

We do offer additional professional solutions including load balanced services. This means your traffic is sent to more than 1 web server. The load balancer is a piece of hardware which sits in front of your servers and monitors there uptime. If the load balancer cannot access your web server for any reason, within 1 second, your traffic is redirected to one of the other servers until the server with the issue is resolved.
