How Can Autoredirect Your Site If It Goes Down?.. - GoFuckYourself.com

I mean if the server is offline?....

I assume it will have to be something that plays with your DNS...

You can change the nameservers with your registrar to point to another location.

Umm cloudflare is supposed to be good. You edit your name servers to theirs. The idea is that in the event if downtime or a ddos attack your site stays inline.

The truth is, on my sites at least cloudflare doesn't work like that.

I was hoping to do it without my intervention - Despite rumors to the contrary I do sleep...

I forgot about Cloudflare - I will have a play - Thanks...

most hosters worth their salt will offer failover.

Meaning, they constantly ping your box ( or do a http request - configurable) and as soon as it stops responding will assign your ip to your reserve server.

It's much faster and simpler than dns.

cloud = never offline
monitoring = get notified as soon as something is down (when the fuck would that be???)
cloudflare sucks balls in hell
