Guide: WebGate load balancing
Distribute traffic across multiple backend VPS instances.
When to use it
Key points
- Improve availability with multi-backend design.
- Handle higher traffic peaks.
- Reduce downtime during maintenance.
Implementation
Steps
- Services -> WebGate -> Load balancing.
- Create rule for selected domain.
- Select allowed backend VPS instances.
- Set balancing mode and health checks.
- Save and verify active state.
Post-deployment validation
Steps
- Run repeated requests and verify distribution behavior.
- Simulate one backend failure and observe failover.
- Track application errors in backend logs.
Concrete example
Example: two web VPS instances serve the same application.
One load-balancing rule sends requests across both backends.
If one backend fails, traffic continues on the remaining backend.
