: How do I add multiple providers DNS to my domain for website replication and access? Hello I have a website that I would like to keep online no matter what for that purpose I don't mind

@Steve110

As to email, look at moving them to Google Apps and Gmail. Very high uptime, always accessible via POP/IMAP, free, and large amount of storage.

All you have to do is point the DNS to Google server's (the set up process walks you through it).

Assuming your site content is fairly static (not a shopping cart or similar) you can do this using your DNS server entries on the domain. You would purchase hosting from several providers (I'll use acme.com and example.com as the providers). Each provider should provide a list of the DNS servers to use while registering your domain. It may look something like this:


NS1.ACME.COM
NS2.ACME.COM
NS1.EXAMPLE.COM
NS2.EXAMPLE.COM


You enter all 4 of these DNS servers in when you register your domain (or in the editing of your domain properties). As a result, if acme.com's DNS servers go down, then example.com's servers will take over. You would have to set up 2 accounts (one for each hosting company) for your email users, however. But this should be fairly transparent once it is set up.

This is a DNS-level solution for your problem, but I think your problem is more complex than simple DNS tricks will solve for you.
