Abstract

Systems of the present inventions allow for providing customer-selected solutions for multiple datacenter website hosting. An exemplary system may comprise a first datacenter comprising at least one hosting server, a second datacenter comprising at least one hosting server, and a hosting services website hosted on at least one customer interaction server. The hosting services website may be configured to offer and implement hosting of at least one customer website in the first datacenter, second datacenter, or both the first datacenter and second datacenter. The system also may comprise a network communicatively coupling the first datacenter, second datacenter, and customer interaction server.

Claims15

Dependent claims

A method, comprising the steps of:

A) offering a user, via at least one customer interaction server computer, a website hosting service comprising:
(1) hosting at least one website in a first datacenter located in a first geographic region;
(2) hosting said at least one website in a second datacenter located in a second geographic region;
or (3) hosting said at least one website in both said first datacenter and said second datacenter;
B) if said user selects hosting said at least one website in both said first datacenter and said second datacenter, provisioning at least one hosting server computer in said first datacenter and at least one hosting server computer in said second datacenter to host said at least one website;
C) hosting said at least one website on said at least one hosting server computer in said first datacenter and at said least one hosting server computer in said second datacenter;
D) receiving, via at least one routing server computer, a request for a plurality of said at least one website's content;
E) routing, by said at least one routing server computer, said request to a responding datacenter selected from the group consisting of said first datacenter and said second datacenter by determining whether said request will receive a faster response from said first datacenter or said second datacenter;
and
F) returning, by at least one hosting server computer in said responding datacenter, said plurality of said at least one website's content.

A system, comprising:

A) a first datacenter located in a first geographic location and comprising at least one hosting server;
B) a second datacenter located in a second geographic location and comprising at least one hosting server;
C) a hosting services website hosted on at least one customer interaction server, said hosting services website configured to offer a user a website hosting service comprising:
(1) hosting at least one website in said first datacenter;
(2) hosting said at least one website in said second datacenter;
or (3) hosting said at least one website in both said first datacenter and said second datacenter, wherein said hosting services website is further configured to, if said user selects hosting said at least one website in both said first datacenter and said second datacenter, provision said at least one hosting server in said first datacenter and said at least one hosting server in said second datacenter to host said at least one website;
D) a routing server configured to:
i) receive a request for a plurality of said at least one customer website's content;
and
ii) route said request to a responding datacenter selected from the group consisting of said first datacenter and said second datacenter by determining whether said request will receive a faster response from said first datacenter or said second datacenter, wherein said responding datacenter returns said plurality of said website's content;
and
E) a network communicatively coupling said first datacenter, said second datacenter, said customer interaction server, and said routing server.
