What precaustions can you take to make sure your website is always accessible?

I was reading some articles on what you can do to prevent your website going down. It talked about clonning and all sorts and I didn't understand any of it.

My question is, suppose if I had a website online and it crashed how can I still serve my customers without having to wait till the server is fixed?

Have a backup server ready to go that you can either ghost backed up images of your web server, or have a real-time backup system going between the two servers.

Use a webhost that guarantees 99+% uptime and does daily backups.
