I understand it very well.

What I need from it is to be highly available.

I expect that I will continue to draw a paycheck as more and more companies understand the need for availability.

I'm not very familiar with multi-locationg hosting,but i have found that

Quote:

Muti-location hosting means that if you have a website you can choose to host in different countries. The benefit of this is the distance between your website and customer can be reduced which means faster loading times.

An added benefit is if you want to upload material to your website then it'll be quicker because it doesn't have to traverse the whole world to reach the web server.

isn't there a ban on people completing homework Assignments on this forum?

Google is a very good tool.

As alanwalters just pointed out as we both found the same result, I guess it took him as long as it did me, all of 2 seconds

don't go to host1plus dot com they are most worthless hosting company ever.

What they do:
- they rent some dedicated servers from different companies in different places. Then they configure them poorly and sell you 'unlimited'

Further more they loose ALL your data and then start lying to you. They have lost ALL data (files + databases) from all customers on 'their' US server. This was over a month ago and still no data or anything back. After a lot of complaining and asking they said on support my data was lost, on the forum they are still saying yes 'in three weeks you will have it back'.

Furthermore they allow spammers on their servers as the bear (UK) server is blacklisted on 2 major spam lists. Because of this none of order confirmation emails to my customers can be delivered in case of @live or @hotmail addresses (others have problem also).

Now they ban me from their forum because they don't want to to state the facts. Their support is terrible and communication is almost non-existent their English is very bad too and in their support replies they are VERY arrogant.

All proof of my story (screenshots ect) will be online soon at host1plus-sucks dot com . Yes that is how much I detest them. I want to warn everybody that has a serious website NOT to make the same mistake I did.

I think it mean they have multiple places where the servers are located. You could really use that term for almost anything. my hosting has global DNS which simple means they have dns servers in multiple countries.

Most resellers use multiple hosts and could call themselves multi location hosting

Cloud computing uses multiple servers together in different locations but the security and reliability is not there for this yet.
