In honor of Google’s 5th birthday, I thought I’d share the Google Mirror site.
“A common practice for busy websites is to create a mirror site, which is an exact replica of the original site but on a different server. This way if one server is really busy, you can go to the other server.”
Google today celebrates it's 5th birthday. "The search engine site moved to its first office, actually a garage, in Menlo Park, California on 7 September 1998. "
