This is normally the case once the website received large number of traffic. This hinders the performance of the website and all requests are in que until all are processed. It is important that we upgrade the dedicated server hosting package to a
load balancing dedicated server configuration.

The load needs to be distributed among various servers to improve the performance of the server and maintain 100% Uptime on the server. This applies to application as well as database server. In this case, we will consider HTTP request that uses the feature known as IP spraying or rather also called as load / network dispatcher. It checks each HTTP request and redirects to the server or the cluster of servers. It is also used for fail-over dedicated server specifications.
