One domain 2 hosts (3 posts)

    I am starting to get disappointed with my webhost. I want to get a second hosting account for my main website with another host.
    I understand that the DNS settings would be easy. I just need to add the new DNS to my records. What I am wondering is how can I set up the blog so it will enter new content into two different databases.
    So it's one domain, two webhosts, two databases. Is this possible?

    Short answer: no.

    Domain names are set to resolve to a particular server. You get one. One domain --> one server. You can have 2 doman names (or more) pont to one single server, but you ca't have one domain name point to multiple servers (save that the secondary one is just backup - and in that case, the backup server will only kick into use if the primary fails.)

    That's what I thought. Thank you. I'll just set the second account as a backup.
