Primary and secondary servers for a domain

[muhamed.gamal9876]

I have a domain, for example, example.com

I want to do when the primary server goes down, redirect to a secondary server

Primary: 162.200.1.1
Secondary: 162.200.2.2

Ok , SO you want to Redirect the users from example.com when the Primary Server goes Down to Secondary Server

@muhamed.gamal9876

redirect to a secondary server

I Guess that’s not Possible but you can try this if The Primary Server goes DOWN

Then ,
Go to DNS MANAGER
Change the A Record Ip Address from
Primary(162.200.1.1) to Secondary(162.200.2.2)

I’m not 100 % Sure. but this process i explained works

In this case, I’d suggest you to use the Cloudflare Load Balancing feature:

Useful post from my colleague:

The simplest solution if you are on a Paid Plan is to use Zero Downtime Failover . This feature just requires you to configure two A or AAAA records for each hostname, and if one fails, Cloudflare will automatically fetch content from the other. Zero-Downtime Failover adds some latency to each request and you have no control over the failover order, so it might not be for everybody.
