I'm building a website that will have a lot of video that must be stored and hosted locally.<br />
<br />
I will have a really fast connection but I live on the coast and I was wondering if a hurricane hit or the power went out for an extremely long time could I set up the DNS to forward to a linode account?<br />
<br />
How long would this take if it's possible?<br />

Do the machines sync together? Or would they be forwarded to a site that is different from the one that was hosted locally?

Can you host a server locally and then forward to a linode account?

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
