You could just have two repositories at two websites.

I normally use a local backup repo for that which has a simple hook:

.hg/hgrc
    
    [hooks]
    changegroup.push1 = hg push -f <default-repo>
    changegroup.push2 = hg push -f <backup-repo>


When I publish code, I just push to the local backup repo, the hooks
fire and the code is pushed to both remote repos automatically. Don't
overdo this, though: in a more complex setup I use here I run into
locking problems now and then.

Best wishes,
Arne
