Dedicated Server - Dedicated Hosting

Load Balancing Service

If you are entertaining the idea of distributing your site load across multiple servers or would like to be able to do server maintenance transparently to the end users MMKhosting can help. We have put together the network architecture you need to distribute your load, lower latency, and reduce downtime to the end users.

Our load-balancing system has been built flexible enough to meet almost any load balancing needs. We can distribute the load to your servers according to your needs and monitor your services to provide hands-off failover in the event of a singe server outage.

The active Load-Balancer has a virtual IP address that is made known to the world via DNS for your domain. When requests come to this IP the Load Balancer passes the connections out according to its configuration to the servers. There are many algorithms that can be used and we can customize the configuration to meet your needs.

What is load balancing?
Any method of directing traffic across more then one server to reduce latency. This can be done as a hardware or software process.

What are the common uses of load balancing?
Most people use load balancing to help revive servers that are under heavy use. This coupled with the ability of removing a server from a pool of load balanced servers for maintenance gives administrators greater flexibility and reduce down time of overall applications and services.

What can be done with databases?
Most web applications today are becoming more dynamic in nature and are using some sort of database as a backend to store and retrieve information. The way to handle this is by making database servers very powerful clustered environments that sit behind the load balanced servers.  This keeps databases consistent and allows servers to be configured for the database serving function while keeping databases consistent.

What are the differences between load balancing and failover?
Load balancing is a method of distributing load across multiple physical servers while failover addresses where load should be directed during a server or service failure. The configuration options of the two are very extensive and can be tailored to fit the need at hand.

What is the difference between load balancing at one site and load balancing across geographical regions?
Some companies want further load balancing and failover options and do this by placing pools of servers in different geographical locations. Imagine the one being located in London, UK and the other in Durham, UK. This redundancy is essential if service need to be made available during a major crisis. This configuration can become very advanced depending on the various characteristics of the services in each region so further consulting would be required on a case-by-case basis. Common issues would be data replication and custom DNS configuration and service monitoring.

Maximize Performance:
Load balancing maximizes hardware performance by directing traffic to the most available server. In other words, it makes decisions based on current load, rather than a pre-determined alternating schedule.

Distribute Traffic Evenly:
Our local distributed load balancing solutions distribute traffic evenly, skipping errant servers and providing an additional level of fault tolerance to enhance performance and reliability. This service allows easy scalability and is ideal for any website or server farm needing maximum uptime.

Failover or Stand By:
The failover solution allows an additional server to be put in place and direct all web traffic to it in the event of a primary failure. This will maximize your uptime if you experience hardware or software failure on your primary server.

Semi-Dedicated Hosting

Need more resources but don’t want to maintain your own server?

Our semi-dedicated accounts are the natural step between shared accounts and having your own dedicated server. Semi-Dedicated Hosting is basically dedicated hosting, except the server is shared between a very limited number of users. We maintain the accounts just as we do on our normal shared accounts but you will have many more resources available to you.

We restrict the accounts for the semi-dedicated servers to not more than 10-20 per machine. We average 12 per server to allow for growth and massive amounts of excess resources. Each server is examined individually to determine the acceptable amount of accounts to place per machine based on current and expected usage of accounts already on each server.

All semi-dedicated servers are setup on custom built dedicated servers and ordered when you place your order. Your server will be setup on our fast reliable network with the most powerful server software available.

Semi-Dedicated Server Hosting Features:

- Dedicated resources
- Privacy and Isolation
- Guaranteed RAM

Scheduled service outages do not qualify for this guarantee!

Additionally, this guarantee is your remedy for any unscheduled downtime of more than three tenths of one (.3%) percent per month. We will provide a credit in the amount of 1 day of service for every hour that your domain or server is unreachable due to a network or equipment failure.
