I have a question which I believe will be very easy to answer. I have a site which is currently hosted by my friend on his server. I am trying to add my own server as well as the one currently hosting it. Number one is this an easy process? Number two how should I go about doing it?!?!
Assuming the existing web hosting is Linux, it's not too difficult of a process. You'll need to sync the files anytime you change them. I recommend RSync for that. You'll have to setup a cron job to do that. To have people actually go to both servers you'll need to setup Round-Robin DNS. Basically every web request, it would alternate which server the DNS requester goes to. Look up RSync and Round-Robin DNS, and you'll have it. Mike
