UPSs and diesel generators are 2 backup systems which are kept by hosting providers within their data centers in the event there are interruptions in the main power source or the current is shaky and unable to sustain the proper running of the machines located in the facility. UPS refers to Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it is an efficient battery which works non-stop. It is connected to both the power network and the servers constantly, so if the power stops, the UPS is already up and running, which prevents the servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is an engine which can provide the needed power to keep the web servers up and running for a longer period of time. In the event of an outage, the UPS gives the required 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 Web Hosting

The 99.9% network and server uptime warranty that we provide you with is, to some extent, a result of the electric power backup setup that we have in each of the 3 data centers in which we provide web hosting plans - in Chicago (USA), in Coventry (UK), and in Sydney (Australia). If you get a new account to develop or move your websites, it shall be created on a cutting-edge cloud platform which consists of many clusters handling your content. Every web server in the selected cluster has its own powerful enterprise-class UPS to keep it up and running no matter what, until several electric power generators boot up and supply the required power for the entire data center to remain operational for several hours. You won't notice anything even in case there's a disruption, because our backup units could power each of the devices and we will not need to limit the number of working servers or the network equipment which handles the traffic to your sites.
