The UPS and the diesel generator are two devices for keeping a server operational if there are difficulties with the primary power supply - an interruption or unstable current that can't keep the machine functioning properly, for instance. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, although it can often be referred to as Uninterruptible Power Source as well. The UPS is, basically, a highly effective battery that's connected to the web server and to the electricity network constantly, so in case there is any disruption, it's already functioning, that permits the hosting server to keep on running without losing any data. The diesel generator is an engine that will power up a whole data center. It does take some time to start working and it's the UPS that provides this time. These two power solutions are a necessity for any facility or provider that wants to prevent data loss and hardware damage resulting from an unexpected power issue.

UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Shared Hosting

The 99.9% network and server uptime warranty which we offer you is, somewhat, a result of the power backup setup we have in each of the 3 data centers in which we offer shared hosting packages - in Chicago (USA), in Coventry (UK), and in Sydney (Australia). If you get a new account to create or move your Internet sites, it'll be created on a cutting-edge cloud platform that consists of several clusters taking care of your content. Each and every web server in the particular cluster features its own potent enterprise-class UPS to keep it operational no matter what, until several power generators boot up and give the required power for the whole data center to stay functional for several hours. You'll not notice anything even if there's a disruption, since our backup units will power all of the devices and we shall not need to reduce the total number of working hosting servers or the network equipment which manages the traffic to your Internet sites.

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

The semi-dedicated server accounts which we provide are created within a state-of-the-art data center in downtown Chicago and its electrical power backup system is one of the reasons why we can afford to guarantee a 99.9% uptime for both the machines that are part of our sophisticated hosting platform and the network that handles all of the traffic to and from them. An individual UPS system is attached to every single web server to keep it online until a number of generators kick in. The latter are efficient enough to offer electric power for the whole facility for a long time with no need to minimize the power consumption or the overall performance of any hosting server or network device, so even if there is an outage, all of the websites hosted on our platform shall still be available without any disturbances and will perform at top speed.
