UPSs and diesel generators are 2 backup systems that are kept by website hosting service providers within their data centers in the event that there are interruptions in the main power supply or the current is unsound and unable to sustain the appropriate operation of the web servers located within the facility. UPS stands for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's a highly effective battery which works non-stop. It's connected to both the electric power network and the web servers consistently, so if the power stops, the UPS is already operational, which helps prevent the servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is an engine that can provide the needed power to keep the machines functioning for a longer period of time. If 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 supply is restored.

The 99.9% network and web server uptime guarantee which we offer you is, in part, a result of the power backup setup we have in every of the 3 data centers in which we offer shared website hosting plans - in Chicago (USA), in Coventry (UK), and in Sydney (Australia). If you purchase a new account to develop or move your sites, it'll be set up on a cutting-edge cloud platform that consists of many clusters dealing with your content. Each and every server inside the given cluster features its own effective enterprise-class UPS to keep it up and running no matter what, until quite a few electric power generators boot up and supply the necessary power for the entire center to be operating for a lot of hours. You won't notice anything even in the event there is an outage, due to the fact that our backup units will be able to power all the devices and we shall not have to limit the number of working hosting servers or the network equipment which handles the traffic to your Internet sites.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you order a semi-dedicated server account from our company, it'll be set up on a cutting-edge hosting platform in a data center with an outstanding infrastructure. The Chicago-based center uses an independent UPS for each and every web server or network switch located there to make sure that the correct functioning of any device will not be disrupted until powerful generators start supplying the needed electrical power. The latter are able to power the entire data center for a very long time with no need to shut down any devices, so all the websites hosted on our hosting servers will continue to work at top speed and without any effect on their efficiency. These power backup options permit us to ensure that a possible outage will never be a reason for your websites to go offline or to have reduced functionality.
