Wanted: Service How to mirror a site

[haynes8]

If I want to mirror a site (forum) to keep a useable copy incase something happens (of course still doing backups) Where would I start?

Thanks

Do a search on Hotscripts for "site mirror" - it has 12 script listings that may be of use to you.

Is it possible to mirror the same forum between 2 different domains on 2 different hosting accounts?

Do a full directory backup/archive. It's a little easier if you are using cpanel. You may need to do some tweaking in respect to the path settings and database names/paths, etc if you are restoring to a different hosting account.

I would like for the info to be updated across both domains as users are using the site, this way if one goes down there is still a working site available.

I dont know if I am going about it right or not.

Thanks

never mirrored, but I would do it by, using different servers and placing different dns to the servers im using and just upload whatever to all servers.. thats if, what im updating doesnt take forever

im sure theres an easier way

What u want is colocation hosting.

 

[haynes8]

How does co-location hosting work? I would assume its "mirrored" hosting?

 

[typist]

colocation usually means you plug your own box into someone elses datacenter

Misunderstood your question. Not sure how to mirror. Possibly look it up in google, try the key phrase "redundant servers".

 

[GiantDomains]

PS - just back your server up a few times a day, mirroring isn't really for back-ups. Redundant servers will be very expensive, twice the cost for the servers, plus the cost of making them talk to each other, etc.
