- using a computer to detect a change in demand for server resources across a load-bearing system having one or more content servers hosting content;
- and
- in response to the change in demand, removing a content server from the load-bearing system if a total number of content servers on the load-bearing system is greater than a minimum threshold of content servers associated with the hosted content.
