DrakNet's Failover Package is what we like to affectionately call the "Poor Man's Redundant Solution" created for those that want to ensure that even though your budget is somewhat on the smallish side, you can still get the peace of mind that comes from knowing you have an automated solution when things go wrong.
This account includes two Bells and Whistles accounts, one at one of our servers at our Liquid Web Data Center and the Backup Account at our Wired Tree Data Center. For one price, you are given access to both of them to upload your sites, install email accounts, and so on. They function independently and you can mirror their set ups as little or as much as you wish, and by setting both up yourself you save some of the costs involved in having the solution managed.
Instead of using the ns.drak.net nameservers, you will be emailed the ns0.draknetfailover.com nameservers to set up your domain - if you hold the domain with us, we'll make this change for you.
DrakNet's failover systems constantly check (every 2 to 4 minutes) to make sure your system on our main servers are responding and we monitor from multiple locations to make sure that your customers are always going to the correct system. As soon as your web site services fail to respond, your traffic will automatically be moved to your backup installation at the WiredTree data center via an ultra-fast DNS update. This limits the amount of downtime your users will see and keeps your business running fast.
Since the DrakNet Failover solution is 100% integrated with our failover DNS system you don't have to worry about installing any special software or scripts on any of your systems. Other than setting up and configuring both sites, we take care of all of the work for you.
When the crisis has passed, we will move the DNS back to the original system.
Lazy Poor Man's Solution
For $90 a month, you can get the "Lazy Failover Package", and DrakNet will update the backup site once a week so that it mirrors the main site without your having to lift a finger.
