The UPS and the diesel generator are 2 means for keeping a web server functioning in case there are problems with the main source - an interruption or unreliable current that cannot keep the machine working correctly, for instance. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, even though it can often be referred to as Uninterruptible Power Source too. The UPS is, essentially, a powerful battery that is connected to the machine and to the power network consistently, so in the case of any disruption, it's already operating, which allows the server to keep on running without losing any information. The diesel generator is an engine which will power up an entire data center. It needs some time to begin working and it's the UPS that gives it this time. These two power solutions are fundamental for any facility or provider that wants to prevent data loss and hardware damage caused by an unexpected power problem.

UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Web Hosting

We offer web hosting in 3 of the largest data centers around the world. They're located in the U.S., in the United kingdom and in Australia. Considering that data security and web server uptime are our priorities, all three facilities have a number of backup systems against electric power outages. A number of diesel generators can keep the web servers operational for hours or even for several days and every machine that's part of our cutting-edge cloud platform features its own enterprise-class UPS to keep it operational until the generators start working. This setup is one of the reasons why we're able to ensure a 99.9% server and network uptime, so if you host your sites inside a shared account with us, you will take full advantage of a fast and outstanding service and never having to worry about any disturbances due to electrical power outages.

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

The semi-dedicated server accounts that we offer are created within a state-of-the-art data center in the town center of Chicago and its electrical power backup system is amongst the reasons why we are able to guarantee a 99.9% uptime for both the machines that are part of our highly developed hosting platform and the network which handles all of the traffic to and from them. An individual UPS unit is attached to every web server to keep it online until several generators kick in. The latter are potent enough to deliver electric power for the whole center for several hours without the need to limit the power consumption or the functionality of any hosting server or network device, so even if there is a disruption, all of the sites hosted on our platform shall still be available without disturbances and will function at top speed.
