how to quickly/easily switch a website to another server?

**oudiao** · 10-14-2011, 08:55 PM

My hosting company has been great. The server is in a secure place, but I can't help but wonder: what if a bomb hits there or something? What could I do? With all the websites I host, I would like to see what kind of backup plan there could be. Is there a way to have a server on the other side of the world automatically be switched to if it were to go down? I would love to hear it!

Thanks

In case the server goes down you should have a backup copy of your webpage stored on your hard drive or external media. A good hosting service is up 99.9% of the time which means out of one year that host may be down 10 minutes at most. You also also pay for having your website hosted from a different provider such as Speedy-Joes dot com. Have your website up in minutes with featured product website tonight. It all starts with a domain name registration.
