Load Balancing
Load balancing means dividing up your web traffic and distributing it evenly to a group of identical servers. Load balancing is critical for hosting web applications today.
By sharing the work, your servers will be less strained, which translates to a consistently snappy service. It also makes your service more reliable: By sending traffic to a group of servers, you protect yourself from downtime because if one or even several of your servers fail, your service will continue on without interruption as long as there are other servers still active.
