Hi all,
I've got a fairly basic question that I seem to be confusing myself over.
My main web hosting site (let's say mycompany.com) is currently hosted using my dathorn account. two other domains that are also part of my company are hosted at dathorn too.
I also host my clients on the same dathorn account.
Currently, if dathorn is down, that means mycompany.com and my other two domains will be down, thus my clients are unable to contact me.
I'm thinking about hosting my 3 sites in another datacentre, so that they will be available in case of dathorn down time.
Currently all my clients use ns1 & ns2.mydomain.com for their nameservers. These are set up through godaddy (where i purchased the domain), to point to the two IP addresses that i was allocated in my welcome email.
Can I now create ns3 & ns4.mydomain.com, and point them to two other ips (at a new host in another datacentre), then change my 3 domains' nameservers to ns3 & ns4, thus pointing them to the other datacentre?
Would this then mean that if dathorn is down, my 3 sites would still be online?
Also would it mean that if my 3 sites are down (because the other datacentre is down), then my clients' sites would be fine?
Thanks for your help.
