High reliability web server - cluster, redundancy, etc

Hi. I am IT manager/developer for a small organization. I have been doing as-needed linux server administration for several years and am by no means an expert. I've built several of my own servers, and our org is currently using hosting services for our servers and I am relatively happy.

We recently had an outage at the host, and management has made clear that this is unacceptable. Our host is one of the larger ones, a publicly traded company, and their techs are onsite and knowledgeable. The outage was a problem with the pipe between the hosting company and the backbone to the internet, caused by the hosting company's pipe provider. It lasted about 25 minutes. Just FYI.

So the conversation about redundancy and clusters has begun. I have never done this before. My hosting company offers a cluster plan that would be easy to implement (CPanel based) but that won't solve the problem of a pipe outage. We are thinking of clustered web servers (apache, php) and clustered databases (mysql) in different locations geographically. Wha are the considerations involved? Rough idea of costs, risks that remain, etc.

Any direction would be really appreciated.

bup-web

bup-ftp(1)						      General Commands Manual							bup-ftp(1)

NAME

       bup-web - Start web server to browse bup repositiory

SYNOPSIS

       bup web [[hostname]:port]

DESCRIPTION

       bup web	starts	a web server that can browse bup repositories.	The file hierarchy is the same as that shown by bup-fuse(1), bup-ls(1) and
       bup-ftp(1).

       hostname and port default to 127.0.0.1 and 8080, respectively, and hence bup web will only offer up  the  web  server  to  locally  running
       clients.  If you'd like to expose the web server to anyone on your network (dangerous!) you can omit the bind address to bind to all avail-
       able interfaces: :8080.

EXAMPLE

	      $ bup web
	      Serving HTTP on 127.0.0.1:8080...
	      ^C

	      $ bup web :8080
	      Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0:8080...
	      ^C
