Clustered Hosting

Clustered hosting is a different type of web hosting. Its main aim is to disperse the load of hosting across multiple physical machines, more commonly known as nodes. More simply put clustered hosting is like having four engines on a jet plane. Should one fail the others will keep everything running smoothly.

By sharing the load clustered hosting increases availability, and it also has the added bonus of reducing the chances of one service affecting another service. This is why a lot of the larger companies run their websites and discussion forums on a clustered hosting formation.

There are many advantages in using clustered hosting, with the first being the number of different servers that are available to host your websites. If a server fails for example, it will be removed from the list of available servers and all of your visitors will be redirected to servers that are capable of running your websites practically and efficiently.

Clustered hosting can be an attractive alternative especially when it comes to cost, as it may be cheaper than a dedicated host. Many clustered hosting providers offer many different platforms such as Linus and Windows, which give you the chance to choose the most beneficial hosting environment for all of your websites.

Clustered hosting is also extremely beneficial if you are looking to increase the number of visitors to your websites. By using clustered hosting, and sharing the load of your websites between different servers, you are increasing the performance for all of your potential visitors and customers.

Security is also improved when you use clustered hosting. Your websites are installed behind the different load balancers, which are also acting as firewalls. By doing this you will only get the traffic you want to visit your website actually visiting.

Another feature of clustered hosting is the reduced time of downtime that your websites can have. If you use a single server and need to reboot for example, after a software upgrade your website will be down and unavailable during this time. Not so when you use a clustered formation. A clustered hosting formation will give you the option of rebooting at regular intervals after a software upgrade, so your websites will always be up and running and available to all of your customers.

Clustered hosting therefore is offering you the web-master the assets of many different machines to use on demand as and when you want to use them. This is another great advantage and one that should be looked into should you get the chance to do so.

In summary clustered hosting will keep your website, or websites available virtually all of the time which is a benefit to your customers, but more importantly more beneficial to you. It will also increase the capacity as and when you need it depending on your number of visitors, as well as offering improved performance. Clustered hosting will also give you peace of mind as it offers a greater level of enhanced security.
