 | What
This is a simple
failover server solution that associates multiple IP
addresses with a single domain name. It provides
redundancy of your site similar to what dedicated
hosting customers receive as part of their $ 399+
monthly hosting fees.
|
 | Why
Higher web site uptime.
99.9% dedicated uptime at standard hosting prices.
|
 | How
To avoid paying thousands
of dollars for replication software that handles
updating all your files on the different IP addresses
automatically and in the background, you will have to
publish the files yourself to your multiple IP addresses
for your domain name.
The best way to handle this is to
publish the files from your main web site IP address to
your other failover IP addresses. This way it picks up
any possible database updates made at your main web site
IP address.
FWHN technicians will configure your
DNS to point to multiple IP addresses. Modern web
browsers work their way down the list of IP addresses
until they find a server that responds.

 | Price
Basic clustering add-on
costs 1/2 of your hosting plan fee per failover IP
address. For example, you order the Standard Basic Plan at
the 3 month rate of $ 74.85 every 3 months. Your basic
clustering add-on fee (per failover IP) would be half of
$ 74.85, which is $ 37.43. So, your new 3 month rate
would be your plan cost of $ 74.85 and your basic
clustering add-on of $ 37.43 (per failover IP) for a
total of $ 112.28 with one failover IP.
