Sure, you'll need multiple web servers that are kept in sync, possibly by doing rsync regularly depending on how your content is generated. You'll also need to ensure that if you are running any MySQL databases that these are replicated and kept in sync on your various servers.

Then you'll need some form of active failover mechanism to detect if a server is down and switch to your alternate. There are companies that will offer advanced DNS hosting that includes the ability to do this, or you may want to use something like HAPROXY as your front end and then use that to manage failover. Of course you then have to make sure that you don't switch back to the first server until it's back in sync with the other one.

In short, it's something that can be done, but it's not as simple as ticking a box in a control-panel.

Hello @Umeraf,

Support for mirroring/failover isn't something that's offered directly in cPanel & WHM at this time, however, there are some companies offering third-party solutions that make it possible. JetBackup is one: https://blog.jetapps.com/disaster-re...-5-easy-steps/

If you prefer to set up something like this on your own, check out the comments section on the following feature request for some examples of how others are doing this:

https://features.cpanel.net/topic/ac...h-availability

While you're there, I encourage you to vote and add feedback to the request if you'd like to see support for this level of redundancy integrated with the product.

Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Thanks!
