Dear all,

I have a server running a directadmin(A) and want to buy a new server(New directadminB)

If my first server domain is domainA.com and second server domain is domainB.com . How they can link together?

I means the domainA web is same as domainB web

Secondy, when the domainA server is down, then the user can using domainB to watch email and web

Can DA do this?
 
To do it with mail is close to impossible, for various reasons; see plenty of other posts on the subject.

To do it with the website is fairly easy; you set up the same domain name on both servers, and on serverA you use serverA's IP# in the DNS and on serverB you use serverB's IP# in the DNS. So each machine serves it's own DNS. You also set a low TTL for DNS; we use 600 seconds but you might want to use about half that or even less.

And you'll have to figure out yourself how to update both websites.

But email from both servers should really point to the same machine; i.e., the DNS for them in both machines should point to the same IP#. See my other posts for issues.
