The server for our e-commerce website went down during a recent holiday and we lost a significant number of transactions.<p>What redundancy procedures have you implemented to protect against these kinds of issues?<p>After doing a bit of research on this topic, I'm left with even more questions. DNS propagation would still leave our website down for up to a day or more for some users and we operate on a relatively tight budget (using a $50/mo. VPS).<p>Hoping someone can shed some light on this and that I'm just ignorant to the obvious solution.
