The Hosting Service[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

Time is approaching when my hosting service will come up for renewal. Around that time, I could go somewhere else or stay with them. For now, I'm thinking of staying with them. There has occassionally been downtime due to problems with the hosting service. The last time this happened, they sent an email the same day explaining what had happened. Some problems may have been due to them being a new company that is still building its infrastructure. So, as it is gets older, it may become more mature and stable. Also, I just learned that they were bought earlier this year by a more established company in the Netherlands. This is fitting, because this site originally began in the Netherlands. And this has given me an idea, though I'm not ready to pull it off yet. Thanks to being owned by a Dutch company, the hosting service I'm using now sells VPS packages on servers in the Netherlands, and they are at the same affordable prices as their VPS packages in the USA. So, my idea is to get a second server in the Netherlands, and to do synchronization and load balancing between the two servers. I like the idea of having a second server there, because this site began there, and it's a good location for handling European traffic. For the present though, I don't know very much about synchronizing and load balancing two servers, and I have other things to take care of first.
