Load balancing enables greater flexibility, performance and traffic distribution between two or more clustered servers. By constantly monitoring server status, our load balancing service can route requests to the server best able to fulfil each incoming request.

Hosting Services' skilled engineers will discuss your requirements based on factors such as required response time, availability and capacity taking into account the current load and historical performance. More reliable than large capacity servers, load balancing will produce a robust and redundant solution ideal for high traffic sites running processor intensive tasks.
BSG Hosting Services' Load balancing has the following benefits:

  • Faster performance during peak traffic
  • Redundancy ensures no single point of failure
  • Fully scaleable, managed and monitored by BSG's trained engineers



  • BSG Hosting Services' load balancing includes local server load balancing, application redirection, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) load balancing, URL-based redirection and load balancing, and advanced TCP/IP filtering functions.

    In addition to local data centre Load Balancing, Hosting services can also offer the following

    Distributed - Where the key requirement is to provide geographic resilience, distributed load balancing can be offered. Servers will be located in separate locations and will share load, however should one location suffer an outage, the alternative location will provide a functioning service.

    Mirroring - Where clients need services mirrored between hardware or indeed geographic locations, BSG is able to provide these services.
