Is it possible to somehow organize the work of the site, in case of problems with the host?
Greetings,
The project has been running on a VPS for a long time, and problems on the host side used to occur about once every 2-3 months (problems with the data center / with disks ..) . The problem was solved within 30 minutes, so it did not bother me much.
Now the project is heavily monetized (access to digital content/banners) and a couple of days ago the hoster had problems that the site was not available for about 10! hours. At the moment, it either works, or it doesn't .. by the hour. This, of course, cannot normally affect monetization (users are not happy, advertisers too ..).
Are there any ways to get around this problem? Maybe some backup server that will work in case of failure of the first one? In general, I did not encounter such a task, but I would like to know for the future what options are available.
ps. Changing the host is too "on the forehead", since such problems can arise for everyone.
I will be grateful for advice.
Thank you.

why bother with a backup server and pay x2 more money when you can just leave this hoster and find another one. vps is not a dedik. uptime should be 99%
To begin with, specify a small TTL in DNS, for example, 15 minutes. DNS servers should not be at the host. Keep a copy of the site from another host and, in case of problems, change the IP of the site to the second host.
hire an admin who will make a backup server for you with a replica
, well, it’s time to change the hoster already
problems every two months is tough
