Keep Hostgator dedicated server fro Apache<BR />2. Move Mysql to another dedicated server, which will be Master<BR />3. Add Rackspace Cloud server for Apache<BR />4. Add Rackspace Load Balancer and balance traffic between Hostgator and Racksapce<BR />5.Create Another Mysql server at Rackspace which will be Slave<BR />6. Add Loadbalancer for for 2 Mysql servers i have. In case if one fails to make it auto switch to the 2nd one (Slave)<BR /><BR />Any opinion or expert advice would be very much appreciated<BR /><BR />Thanks<IMG border="0" src="http://imagicon.info/cat/12-1/text-smiley.png" /></P> Fri, 21 Dec 2012 21:18:54 GMT orthohin 2012-12-21T21:18:54Z https://business.forums.bt.com/t5/Archive/Servers-architecture-for-E-commerce-business/m-p/48948#M25616 <P>Hello,<BR /><BR />Need an advice in how to build an architecture for our ecommerce business<BR /><BR />So at the moment we hosted with Hostgator dedicated server and frankly we are pretty much fine with it<BR /><BR />Our issue is that 3 times a year we have big spikes in traffic like 10 times to our regular day to day traffic and then we are having troubles<BR /><BR />So I'm trying to find solution which will help us:<BR />- scale when needed to be ready for traffic spikes<BR />- to have back up in case there is problem with server, db....<BR /><BR />So the plan i have in my head is next:<BR />1.
