UPSs and diesel generators are 2 backup systems that are kept by website hosting service providers in their data centers in case there are interruptions in the main power source or the current is shaky and unable to maintain the proper operation of the servers situated inside the facility. UPS is short for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's an effective battery that works non-stop. It's connected to both the power network and the servers consistently, so anytime the power stops, the UPS is already working, which prevents the servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is literally an engine which can provide the needed electric power to keep the servers operational for a longer period of time. In case there is an outage, the UPS provides the necessary time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the primary power source is restored.

UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Hosting

The 99.9% network and web server uptime warranty which we provide you with is, somewhat, a result of the electrical power backup setup that we have in each of the 3 data centers where we offer hosting packages - in Chicago (USA), in Coventry (UK), and in Sydney (Australia). If you acquire a new account to build or move your websites, it'll be created on a progressive cloud platform that consists of a number of clusters handling your content. Each hosting server within the particular cluster features its own powerful enterprise-class UPS to keep it operational no matter what, until a number of electrical power generators boot up and supply the required power for the whole facility to be functional for a lot of hours. You'll not notice anything even in the event there's a disruption, due to the fact that our backup units will power all of the devices and we shall not need to restrict the amount of working servers or the network equipment that addresses the traffic to your sites.

UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Semi-dedicated Servers

The semi-dedicated server accounts we provide are created within a state-of-the-art data center in the town center of Chicago and its electric power backup system is one of the reasons why we are able to afford to guarantee a 99.9% uptime for both the hosting servers which are part of our sophisticated hosting platform and the network which handles all of the traffic to and from them. An individual UPS device is attached to every machine to keep it online until a number of generators kick in. The latter are powerful enough to offer electrical power for the whole center for many hours without the need to limit the power consumption or the efficiency of any server or network device, so even in case there is a disruption, all the websites hosted on our platform shall still be available with no interruptions and will operate at top speed.
