Hey everyone! Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Wonderful Kwanzaa to everyone!
Now, for those who have followed my plight around here know I'm looking for a webhost with over 100 GB a month of transfer to host my website and how I was looking to alternatives to a dedicated/expensive server.
Well, while in the shower a thought struck me and I was wondering if anyone had any feedback to whether this would ever work.
What if I signed up for hosting on two different servers (Say just for argument LiquidWeb and Tera-Byte) using both servers to host different pages of my site. Between the two, I would have almost enough bandwidth and the two top plans together would be around $60.00 a month and would give me around 70 GB of traffic a month combined.
Is it at all possible to do that? As in, can I direct both LiquidWeb and Tera-Byte to one domain or would I need two separate domains that I could somehow connect? Is it even possible/allowed to host one site on two different web hosting companies?
I know it's not the best plan of action to split up a website among multiple servers, but if I this is doable, it would save me a lot of money each month and I think would work great.
Even taking it a step further, could I do this with free hosting? I'm not saying going to 100 different 1 GB a month hosting companies, but just to cover myself GB wise, if I went to one or two free hosts and stored some pages there, that could work too.
As I said, I have no idea if this is possible/ethical/whatever, but it seemed to be a great idea when it was in my head.
All help, as always, is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
