XcellHost - Load Balancing Services

High Availability Solutions are designed for companies that require a load balanced solution that ensures their mission-critical Internet applications or websites are online at all times. If your entire website resides on a single server then your site is vulnerable to potential hardware failures and surges in traffic that could slow your site to a crawl. With one of our high availability solutions you can limit your exposure to such risks and balance the traffic for your site across multiple servers. Should any of the load balanced web servers fail then requests will simply be routed to the remaining servers in the cluster.

Load balancing your servers will allow you to spread the requests across multiple servers and increase the responsiveness of your site. This leads to a better overall customer experience which can directly translate into sales for your company. Load balancing also leads to increased scalability, should your website’s resource needs or traffic grow. You can add additional servers to the load balanced cluster seamlessly.

Does your web site or application require maximum uptime and reliability?

XcellHost Load Balancing Services are designed to provide you with a redundant, solid, and cost-effective platform that will prevent downtime and lost business opportunities for eCommerce and high traffic websites. Get the performance and peace of mind that will allow you to focus on your core business.

Why XcellHost Load Balancing Services?

• High availability / Uptime – Eliminate downtime by automatically redirecting traffic in the event of a server failure or network congestion.

• Performance – Improve your web site or Internet application speed by distributing the load among multiple servers, maximizing reliability, responsiveness and throughput for a better customer experience.

• Scalability – Easily expand your hosting platform to meet increased demand by adding servers, without having to change your configuration or take your existing servers down for an upgrade.

XcellHost’s load balancer automatically distributes traffic among 2 or more servers, sending requests to the least loaded server in the dedicated server cluster. If a server experiences a hardware or software problem, it is taken out of the cluster and future traffic is not directed to it until it comes back online and is reintegrated into the cluster.

XcellHost’s enterprise-class load balancing solution utilizes industry-standard techniques (including round-robin, lowest latency, least connections, shortest response and IP persistence) to balance traffic among 2 or more servers. It can be instantly activated and ready to configure, and servers can be added to or removed from the balancing pool on-demand with no downtime. Load balancing can be configured to operate locally (within a single XcellHost Data Center) or globally - across all XcellHost facilities.
