If you have or had two or more servers, would you run them out of the same datacenter? If yes, why? If no, why not? Do you think it would effect the uptime? Or maybe all clients should have equal hosting? What do you think?
Well I think if your looking to mirror them for uptime then having them in different datacenters is worth it and very good so you dont have to worry about one going down and waiting for a long time.
I would prefer to have them in different datacentres so you will always (hopefully) have at least one server up, you can then provide support from a server that is up.
Scenario 1 you have all your hosting clients local... and need servers local so they can utilize maximum speed with good ping times. You may also have a nice setup with access to that datacenter so y ou would want all your servers in one place.
Scenario 2 you are wanting good worldwide coverage and want your servers all mirrored at different locations just incase one goes down. You would want to have servers in a wide variety of places to better suite your demand for international hosting.
I personally have 2 servers each at 2 datacenters... Texas and New Jersey.
I want one in London... or close to it. It just cant be in ireland, because irish stink :cough:: John :: cough::: )
