Webcity Develops High Availability Architecture

Australian budget domain registrar and Web hosting provider Webcity has developed a unique server architecture that offers high availability, clustered hosting to the budget hosting market, it announced on Wednesday.

The High Availability Server Architecture, which tok 2 years to develop, is intended for the cPanel based shared hosting product. The company says it plans to apply HASA to all of its hosting plans.

Webcity says HASA facilitates an increase in the real time redundancy in the event of any potentially problematic servers and their software, including reducing the time required for planned outages.

Bennett Oprysa, Webcity COO stated “With the current pricing structure of our professional hosting plans ranging from $6.95 to $12.95 per month, we are aiming at providing this solution to site owners for less than $100 per year. All of this adds up to a solution that provides the ultimate in high availability hosting, and is far superior to anything else on offer within the Australian shared hosting market. Combined with our ultra competitive pricing, the HASA makes Webcity professional hosting services the clear choice for Australian small businesses.”

The Webcity HASA includes complete redundancy of the entire server and networking hardware, thwarting any single point of failure. Additionally the HASA structure facilitates software redundancy by switching between multiple instances of the same server software, should a software related issue occur on the live server is instead of a hardware related one.
