Q. Do you use redundancy in your servers?

Ans. Even though all server types can be redundant in principle, it is typically consumption servers that are set up redundantly. Redundancy ensures that visitors to an Internet site can still access the website even if one site server goes down, for example due to hardware failure. Another advantage of redundant servers is that the system load can be spread over all available servers (“load balancing”). This is especially useful in situations of high-volume traffic, when many users access the website at the same time. It prevents one server from being overloaded while another stands idle and could easily take some of the load.

Redundancy option is included as standard on our high configuration servers and is available for an additional cost on low configuration servers.
