Hot Standby is HEAnet’s website failover service. The service provides peace of mind to clients – if their website goes offline, Hot Standby can step in and provide a display in the websites place:
- Hot Standby can be used for anything from small client websites to major institution home pages.
- The service has been specifically engineered by HEAnet for rapid and reliable failover intervention
We offer a number of different options for clients with regards to the display.
| Down Time Message | This is the simplest option – HEAnet provide a message to let website users know the website is currently offline and to come back later and try again. |
| Website Shell Copy | Clients can display a copy of static website pages providing a shell website for users until the official website is up and running again. |
| Full Fail Over Functional Site | HEAnet’s DNS servers will failover between Main/Standby external (client managed) web sites. |
Cost: Hot Standby is offered to HEAnet clients at no extra cost.
