Default Looking for Redundancy in 2nd Dedicated Server

Hello, I currently have a Basic Dedicated Server and I am very happy with it. I can also add that I have been a HostGator customer for about 5 years and in general I am very satisfied.

Our business has grown and we now require a 2nd more powerful dedicated server. I would love to get this at HostGator except it seems that all of the HostGator servers are located in the same physical location. The chances of a disaster may be remote, but it seems logical to me that for redundancy it would make sense to have our 2nd dedicated server in a different location than our 1st one.

Can anyone offer advice on this? Suggest a competitor or offer some kind of HostGator solution?

I think it would also be a very useful service if hostgator somehow offered a remote backup location where I could store the archive files from a complete backup of my dedicated server.

Basically i would like to have managed backups occurring on my dedicated server. Is this something hostgator offers?

Regards
Jim

Jim,

There are actually 7 different datacenters that our provider uses, spread out with 5 of these datacenters in Dallas, TX and 2 in Houston, TX. I'm fairly confident if you submitted a ticket to sales AT hostgator dot com with a custom request to make sure the 2nd server you ordered was in a different datacenter than your current one. Perhaps this is an option?

Thank you, that is very helpful GatorFord.

The person who I chatted with earlier today on your live chat told me that all your servers are in the same location. I think some training is in order.
