What is a Mirror Site?
A mirror site is a replica of another website, hosting the same content on a different server and often under a different web address. These sites are used to spread network traffic and reduce load on the original server, improve access speed for users in different geographical locations, and provide redundancy in case the primary site goes down. Mirroring is not the same as creating a backup. These terms are often used interchangeably, however, they serve two different purposes. Mirroring is a method used to improve accessibility, reduce the latency of the primary website by hosting on servers that are in closer proximity to the users, and divide the load between multiple web servers. Backups, on the other hand, are created for data protection and recovery.
What is Mirror Site?
A mirror site is a website that has been cloned and hosted on a different server. It’s an exact clone of the existing site, except for a changed URL. Mirror sites are especially common for websites that offer large downloads, such as software updates, applications, and multimedia content, ensuring that these resources remain available and accessible to users around the world.
