Redundant Web Space

Question

I have following problem.

My domain is registred on service "A" My web-space (not a server) is on Godaddy.

Once a week is my service unreacheble I am sure that is godaddy problem.

My idea is to by some webspace of one different service to make my service redundant.

Note: My service is only few html files with javascrit. I dont' need to sync

But how to do it?

Whre do I have to say "there are two webspaces, if one is not reacheble, so use the other" ?

Thanks a lot

I would fix the problem. Not try and patch with a plaster – Zapto Mar 25 '12 at 11:47 — Zapto, Mar 25 '12 at 11:47

Why would you do this? If GoDaddy's crap, find a decent hosting provider and just use them. Don't pay for a crap service and a good one, then layer significant additional complexity on top with DNS failover (which is about the worst possible way to handle failover, due to client-side caching fail).

I bought their grid hosting, which is cloud like.. but it is crap... could you suggest a better hoster? – alisia123 Mar 25 '12 at 22:21

You would do this with DNS, you could either use RoundRobin DNS, so that it randomly sends the visitor to either server, or get a DNS server that switches over on fault.

Cloudflare would be a decent temporary workaround. The real solution is to get off shared hosting and onto a few real machines (if you need high availability, one machine isn't going to cut it)
