I'm planning on adding a status box to our website to inform our clients of when our web-hoster has outages, upgrades etc. It has dawned on me that we also host our website with that same webhoster, so in the event on an outage, our website would also be down.
What can I do to ensure our website stays up? I need some ideas for not only synchronising our site between two different hosters, but also what we need to do with our domain's A record to ensure an automatic switch over.
(Yes I know we could just settle with one separate hoster, but the above sounds like more of a challenge)
