We are a few days away from launching a new service called failover hosting.

Our failover hosting will provide you with a higher up time as it will provide you with a minimum of 2 accounts in 2 separate data centers. The service includes site monitoring to ensure your site is up, if your site is detected as being down your DNS will be updated automatically to update to use the second account (and others if you have more then 2). This service also includes rsync for your files and replication for your databases. Our failover hosting can scale up to 5 accounts on 5 separate servers in different data centers.

This can now be purchased on our main site here.

If you have any questions about this contact our sales staff  at sales@bluefur.com.

We have set in motion a plan to have all our Unix servers moving forward to be Web 2.0 ready. We currently have servers for both resellers and shared hosting that have PHP 5, Ruby on Rails and Python installed. If you are currently on a server that is not Web 2.0 ready and wish to be open a ticket with our support staff.

Some have criticized that Web 2.0 is just re-branding of old technology. You will find that the new rich applications you can create using the above languages really can improve the performance of your own site in future.
