Technology Overview
Hosting Zoom's multiple server cluster with failover is designed for two purposes— maximize website performance and eliminating prolonged downtime. Our proprietary enterprise level hosting is the same solution used to host high traffic mission critical websites. We have the only cpanel hosting failover system in existance.
Typical Standard Web Hosting
The majority of web hosting providers offer a setup with no redundancy. If the server your website is hosted on fails the end result will be prolonged downtime (hours and even days) until fixed. In addition, all major server software (web server, email server, database server) are located on the same server creating a bottleneck that can lead to slow performance.
The diagram above illustrates an example of a typical web hosting setup. One server carries all the load and if it fails your website will be offline to visitors until the problem is resolved.
Hosting Zoom's Clustered Failover Hosting
Hosting Zoom offers a redundant setup that mirrors the live production servers to improve redundancy and help elliminate downtime. All data (web, email, database) are mirrored in real-time and in the event of a server failure our failover application will route all website traffic to the available server keeping your website online until the problem is resolved. This technology is so advanced the total time to failover to the backup mirrors is nearly instant, taking no more than 60 seconds.
