: Point No-IP dynamic DNS to web hosting if home computer is offline I have a challenge since I'm not sure how to accomplish this: I have a NOIP account in order to host some websites on my
I have a challenge since I'm not sure how to accomplish this:
I have a NOIP account in order to host some websites on my home.
I'm in the need to migrate some of this websites to a hosting for high availability.
I have a good server in home so I just need to make a lower replication on a web hosting so I can accomplish high availability.
I wish I could lease a lower 1 core 1gb ram web hosting to be the 2nd server in order to answer if my home server fails.
the architecture should be, somehow, like this:
NOIP points (primarily to home server)
NOIP points (web hosting if home server doesn't answer).
Since I'm using NOIP I think I can still use domain.com regardless of which server I'm pointing to. In the case it's not possible I think I can make, at least, domain.com point to home server and alpha.domain.com point to web hosting.
Now, as far as I know, the real issue comes to this:
Web hosting would ask for domain registration otherwise use a dummy web address like abc.hosting.com. So when redirecting hosting would appear on URL site so it's not professional looking.
so how to configure that architecture or a near alternative like that?

The feature that you are looking for is called DNS Failover. No-IP offers it under their 0/year monitoring package.
If you are going to lease a server in a data center, I would suggest using it as the primary server. I use a data center to host my websites and use my home computer as a development machine and staging server.
