What is clustered hosting?
By Joe Gardiner Tuesday, 11th May 2010
Clustered hosting is the newest way of hosting your website. A cluster is a group of computers or servers, whose combined computational power provides a service.
Clustered hosting involves spreading the website across multiple servers, like layers. In the CatN stack each layer does its own individual task, so one for web, one for databases, one for logging etc. This has one considerable advantage, if one server goes down the others won’t.
