A failover application system installed on a hosting servers will check the servers every second. Suppose failover system detected a server failure, then it will automatically route all the traffic to the available servers to take over all server services like web, email, cpane, database and so on. If server failure last over 2 minutes, then the available servers will take the network loads until the failed server is fixed.
