Two Websites With One Database?

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, I have a question.

My client want me to make a perfect up-time servers. So I think like this, I've an account on Tommy (using my client e-mail), and I've another on Johnny.

 

Nah, to make a backup for Tommy, I would like to make another website but connected to my client website on Tommy.

 

How can I do that?

It wouldn't provide much benefit. If you have two servers hosting the site, but they share a single database kept on one server, all the servers will stop working if the server containing the database goes down. You need to have two completely independent copies on different servers. Separate database and all. That also means you have to make any edits twice, unless you make a script to synchronize them (probably doable but not fun).

Be aware you're only allowed one account unless you ask for permission to have a second and can explain why you need it. Otherwise, you're violating our terms of service and all of your accounts will get suspended.

 

If you need near-perfect reliability, a paid web host is probably more in line with what your client needs. We usually recommend Hostgator.

First of all, as stated in our terms of service http://wiki.helionet.org/Terms which you agreed to twice when you created your accounts, each person is allowed to have only one account. I recommend you delete your Johnny account by using http://www.heliohost.org/classic/support/scripts/delete

 

Second of all, there is no such thing as perfect uptime servers. If DDoS attacks can take out the root nameservers https://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/12/08/internet_root_servers_ddos/ then everything on the internet goes down.

 

EDIT:

 

Beat me by less than a minute! Haha.

Very true. There's indeed no such thing as perfect since the internet has far too many variables beyond your control, any of which could change or break and make a website fail. A good host and a service like CloudFlare will go a good way towards closing the gap though.

 

Google probably has the best known uptime out there, and even they had an outage a few years back...
