March 29, 2006 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Web hosting provider MonsterHosting.ca has announced the launch of what it terms ‘Failover’ hosting - a new technology that replicates website files and stores them on a number of servers in different geographical locations. According to the company the technology offers 99.9% uptime and is more economical than more traditional redundancy solutions.
Failover hosting comprises monitoring registered websites for uptime and, if a site is down, redirecting visitors to an alternative server where the site’s files are replicated. The system makes uptime checks every two minutes and when there is a problem, redirection is seamless.
“We spent a lot of time listening to what business customers are looking for in a web host,” said Lisa Jones, MonsterHosting.ca President. “And we’ve overwhelmingly seen that uptime is the number one priority for most of our target demographic.” She added, “We see a trend in the industry to oversell services at cut rate prices. Our focus is not to compete on these low profit customers, but to provide an affordable service for small to medium sized businesses looking for an economical increased uptime solution.”
Failover hosting packages include daily file synchronization with a number of servers and a 60-day money back guarantee.
