What is Server Health Checking?

Load Balancers run server health checks against web servers to determine if they are alive, healthy and providing service. Server health monitoring is the key to delivering resilient applications, and depending on the solution chosen, some load balancers are able to use layer7 health checks which offer greater sophistication in their problem detection. Below is a summary of the different methods of server health checks. Ping: This is the most simple method of server health check, however it is not very reliable because the load balancer can report that the server is up, whilst the web service can still be down. TCP Connect: This is a more sophisticated health check method which can check if a service is up and running. An example of this is services on port 80 for web. Simple HTTP GET: This method of server health check will make a HTTP GET request to the web server and typically check for a header response such as a 200 OK. Full HTTP GET: This server health check will make a HTTP GET and check the actual content body for a correct response. This feature is only available on some of the more advanced load balancing solutions but is the superior method for web applications because it will check that the actual application is available. Customisable Server Health Checks: Some load balancing solutions are able to accommodate custom monitors for TCP / IP applications for better control over their specific application services.

What are Load Balancing Strategies and Policies?

A load balancing strategy or policy instructs the load balancer on where to send the next incoming request. There are many load balancing strategies available depending on the specific solution, however a few common ones are listed below: Round Robin: The most simple load balancing method where each server takes a turn to receive a request. Least Number of Connections: The load balancer will keep track of the number of connections a server has and send the next request to the server with the least connections. Note: Older, layer4 only load balancers tend not to support this as they typically run DSR (Direct Server Return) and don’t know how many connections are currently on the backend servers. Weighted: Typically servers are allocated a percentage capability as one server could be twice as powerful as another. Weighted methods are useful if the load balancer does not know the real and actual performance of the server.

Furthermore, all of this process is done within a second. Let’s see how does an SSL work? Web browser or server tries to connect with the server of a website secured with an SSL/TLS Certificate and make a request to a web server for identifying themselves. Copy of a web server’s SSL/TLS Certificate is sent to the browser or server. Once the browser/server receives it verifies whether to trust the SSL/TLS Certificate and then sends a message to the web server. The web server sends back an acknowledgment in a digitally signed format for starting an SSL encrypted session. Now, the access is granted to share encrypted data between the web server and the browser/server.

Plus, depending on the type of WordPress hosting you choose, it could come with extra features like email accounts and free domain names. When deciding on the best free WordPress hosting for you, it's important to know what kind of website you have (or plan to create), how many visitors you anticipate receiving each month and what kind of features and add-ons the host offers.

VPS hosting is similar to using virtualized OS software. For example, let’s say you have a MacBook Pro, but you really need to use the Linux OS for a certain program to run.
