4 cPanel Server Cluster/Load Balancing ?

Dogus
Hello, I want to connect my cPanel server in 4 different locations. I want to choose one server and use the others as backup. If the main server cannot be accessed, I want it to connect to other servers. how can I do this best?

    There isn't a supported way to setup a failover environment by default using cPanel and WHM software. It's definitely something we're looking into for the future, but you'd need to explore some custom software solutions in order to set this up. Doing a search on the forums for "failover" or "high availability" may get you some good information as I know this has come up several times before.

    Why do you need 4 different locations if it is backup/standby? You just need only one right? You can of course use the 4 locations simultaneously and load balance among them. Of course, the data and databases must be synchronized among the 4 locations

    Hi, If there is a problem in the server or data center in 1 location, I am looking for such a system to continue working from the other location. And I still haven't figured out how to do it. Do you have a suggestion?

    @Dogus - it would be best to speak with various hosting providers to see what redundancy tools they offer, as this currently can't be done with just cPanel software.

    Hey @Dogus The biggest downside to cPanel servers, is that there is no current 'easy' way to replicate data / databases across two different servers. There are however, some ways to get what you need: Option 1) Global DNS Load Balancing. If you have a DNS host (e.g. cloudflare or NS1 etc) you could of course put up a load balancer on the domain name which will point traffic immediately to server 2 if server 1 is down. That part is relatively easy and it's not out of this world in terms of cost ( Other Resources:
