Load Balanced Hosting
What is load balancing?
Load balancing helps to improve the reliability and speed of your website. You might activate load balancing on your domain name if you have a busy or business-critical website.
How does load balancing work?
Without load balancing, one computer is responsible for sending your web pages to visitors. When you activate load balancing, we share the work of serving your website amongst three separate computers. Whenever someone visits a page on your website, our systems automatically send them to the least busy server. This is totally seamless to the visitor.
Do I need load balancing?
Load balancing gives your website three times the server power. It also means that your website remains online even if one of the servers is taken offline. You should activate load balancing for your domain if you want to ensure your website visitors always get the fastest response times.
