Among all the web hosting solutions maximum number of users comprise of shared hosting solutions. These solutions are fairly cheap and offer the basic resources for your personal and small business websites. On a single physical server there are multiple shared hosting accounts created to host multiple websites. As a part of customer service, hosting providers are constantly trying to offer best web hosting experience to their clients, therefore offering small business web hosting solutions that strive to offer 100% uptime guarantee.
Most of the best hosting service providers in the UK offer a special category known as Small Business Web hosting solutions. These are basically shared packages available on Linux as well as Windows platforms. But, the major difference between the two packages is that, business web hosting packages strive to offer 100% uptime guarantee to users websites. Specifically referring to eukhost business hosting packages, they have implemented Mirroring Solutions using FAM and RSYNC modules to their shared servers, hence are able to offer 100% uptime guarantee to the users. Every single business hosting account operates on two high configuration servers that are located on two different racks. One among the two servers is set as a master server and the other as a slave server.In this type of mirrored servers both the servers are identical. The eukhost business hosting accounts are set up on the servers with Dual Quad Core Xeon processors having 12Gb RAM. In this type of small business hosting solution, every single file and data is replicated from the master server onto the slave server using RSYNC. All this is done within fraction of seconds from the time updates are made on the master server. During this process there are hardly any resources that get used hence there is no chance of affecting the performance of the website/s.
The most impressive feature of Mirrored servers is, just incase the master for some reason encounters some malfunctioning or goes down, the mirroring script binds the secondary IP address of the master server. In such a situation the website/s starts getting resolved from the slave server with no waste of time, that means the website/s are accessible at any given point of time despite the malfunctioning of the server. Once the technical persons of the web host takes the required steps to get the master server back online, the lastest updates are RSYNCed back from the slave server. Once identical data is created on the master server since the time it went down, the master server retakes its responsibility to act as the master server.
The small business hosting packages are an ideal solution for corporate customers or to every website owner who wishes to have 100% uptime for their websites.
Whereas the normal shared hosting packages fail to deliver 100% uptime guarantee to users. There has been an increasing demand for various hosting solutions that offer 100% uptime to their websites. Hence, small business hosting solutions have gained tremendous popularity in the recent past.
