How important is it for you to be 100% up? If you can do with, say, 30min downtime if something fails, all you may need is a virtual server that is regularly backed up and can be brought back to the last stored state.
If you need 100% uptime, you need to indeed put several servers in place and failover (or at minimum a load balancer that notices when one machine is down). And you need good monitoring in place to identify when "shit" happened. Cheers, Silvia.
