Load balancing has historically been reserved for enterprises with large IT environments and even larger IT budgets. Load balanced servers are a premium hosting service, but load balancing doesn't have to come at a premier price. FireHost makes load balancers available to SMBs at affordable rates.
Load balancers optimize and delegate resources between secure servers by measuring elements like concurrent users/connections and processor utilization. When a server becomes overloaded or unavailable for any reason, the load balancer automatically directs users to an accessible server to help ensure redundancy and failover.
