High Availability Shared Hosting - Any provider here ? Pricing ?
Is there any provider in LET universe who provides true-to-name High Availability Shared Hosting ?
Using the help of GPT- Here is a full list of features of HA hosting infrastructure- Redundancy, Load Balancers, Fault Tolerance, Data Replication, Geographical Distribution, Automatic Failover, Backup and Disaster Recovery
I know that even Azure and GCP go down even after maintaining all the above features. The point is to find shared hosting company which maintains a basic level of HA setup ,i,e, geo-redundant servers and auto-failover with Each server with some high level of fault tolerant design.
What will be the starting monthly price of such package ? (Take an example Wordpress blog of 250K monthly visitors, fully cached website ,no ecom ). Of course, it will be above the limits of chicken wings ($7 )
I see (from the specs) that Wordpress(.COM) hosting packages mentions geo redundant servers with auto-failover . That costs $25 a month if we pay annually .
Do we have some provider here who are into this HA setup ?

We have looked into it. But as like anything would cost more $ compared to the usual give it to me for $0.50/m VPS.
I don't know if it has the features you want or not, but I use 20i hosting from @xHosts and I think it works great.
It has about 99.98% uptime if I check it using HTTP (not ping) with a 5 second timeout.
If you want to make it 100% uptime, you should provide 2 or 3 replication servers that serve as backups when the main server goes down.
we just build same feature using k8s for our wp, but you know, Wordpress is hard my man
we need offload all images to s3 to make it stateless
it's just testing but I hope it work
Hetzner Cloud is likely the closest pricing to your needs. I'm pretty sure they have load balancers, and then you you can configure master-slave database synchronization, etc. between VPSes on your own, or rsync.
Though - I haven't had a single outage in a very long time.
That's great . You mean 100% uptime for 3-4 years ?
I think he's talking about not having any of his individual machines have an outage, separately to the fact that Hetzner provide load balancing and failover IPs.
I've also had good reliability from Hetzner - no outages at all in the 3 years I've had my dedi, and I had an old KS-1 from OVH that had no outages that I was aware of in 9.5 years (but that was before I monitored my servers, so may have had brief network outages I didn't know about).
Modern machines are basically pretty good on the whole. Apart from a couple of providers who took down a VPS or router as part of scheduled maintenance, and occasional network routing issues, the only real outage I had in years (home or remote service) was when a PSU died on an OVH dedi (not the one I mentioned above) after 2 years. They didn't notice the problem themselves, but when I used to control panel to boot into recovery to see what was wrong with the machine, their panel noticed it never booted into recovery, raised a ticket automatically, and they'd diagnosed it and replaced the PSU within the hour.
As for HA, personally I'd want to roll my own using lots of different providers from different locations. I personally have multiple frontends running haproxy that all distribute work to themselves and/or fallback to nearby peers, and those haproxy instances are all on different providers and served by round-robin DNS, so even if one does fail, it's typically only a second delay to the user before their browser picks a different one.
That's a nice setup. Will have to learn some tools of the trade to make my own setup like this. By the way I saw that Cloudflare lets you make a load balancer setup using their DNS. They charge some $5 for basic setup, as per my preliminary research.
So it’s better to automate the backup process. Vs automating the application process.
If you want an automated tool. Sandstorm has grains and easypanel has import export from settings for apps.
we have @GlowHost here
