Hi,

I have a web server that is hosting around 50 sites. How do I set it up so
that when one server crash, another one takes over? Currently I only have
one server that is hosting the site. What is the best method? And how can
I get this done? What are the steps?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Linda
 
Use Misrosoft's clustering service and note a cluster of
servers is not the same as a cluster service.

Since I have never truely been able to make the distiction
well but there is one. I run 2 servers remote from each
other, with NLB(network load balancing) controlling
the "Cluster", with DFS handling replication of files and
Db replication covering that end. I have the load 95% on
the main server and When I do updates or we a power outage
it switches to the other. I believe Microsoft considers
this a "Cluster of servers" and not a "cluster service".
Anyway this should get you on the right path.
