The Web Wiz Highly Available Servers using Failover Clustering with Passive Nodes (redundant servers) is designed with two things in mind, performance and reliability to allow the quick provisioning of extra resources with no downtime and eliminate service outages during hardware failure or maintenance.
Our Shared Hosting solutions are based on white papers by Microsoft to build a similar solution to that used by Microsoft to host their mission critical websites using Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Failover Clustering.
Typical Standard Web Hosting
Most shared web hosting providers offer hosting solutions with no redundancy and no backups! If the server that hosts your website fails then your website could be down for hours or even days.
In addition many hosts place web, email and database services on the same server creating a bottle neck and slow performance. At Web Wiz we use multiple servers with each server dedicated to a particular job and connected by our low latency Gigabyte Core Network.
Web Wiz Clustered Failover Hosting
Web Wiz offers
High Availability for all our Shared Hosting and Virtual Dedicated Servers across multiple Failover Clusters. Our Highly Available Servers hosted on Active Clustered Nodes are able to failover, with no interruption to service, to Passive Clustered Nodes in the event of hardware failure, maintenance, or upgrades.
Multiple Internet Connections with High Availability
Web Wiz utilise two Tier 2 Multihomed Internet Connections to our core Cisco Gigabyte Network configured in High Availability. In the event that our systems detect loss of functionality or network-layer connectivity our passive failover systems will immediately become active and traffic will be re-routed to our network.
