UPSs and diesel generators are 2 backup systems which are kept by website hosting service providers inside their data centers in case there are interruptions in the main power source or the current is unsound and unable to sustain the correct functioning of the servers located inside 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 servers constantly, so anytime the power stops, the UPS is already operational, which prevents the web servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is literally an engine that can supply the required electric power to keep the machines functioning for a longer period of time. If there is an outage, the UPS provides the needed time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the primary source is restored.

UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Cloud Website Hosting

The 99.9% network and web server uptime warranty which we offer is, somewhat, a result of the power backup setup that we have in every of the three data centers in which we provide cloud website hosting packages - in Chicago (USA), in Coventry (UK), and in Sydney (Australia). If you purchase a new account to build or move your Internet sites, it shall be set up on a modern cloud platform that consists of numerous clusters controlling your content. Each and every hosting server inside the particular cluster provides its own efficient enterprise-class UPS to keep it working no matter what, until a number of electrical power generators boot up and supply the necessary power for the entire center to be operational for many hours. You will not notice anything even in case there is a disruption, as our backup units will be able to power all of the devices and we won't need to reduce the total number of working hosting servers or the network equipment which addresses the traffic to your websites.

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

If you get a semi-dedicated server account from our company, it will be created on a cutting-edge hosting platform within a data center with a superb infrastructure. The Chicago-based center uses a separate UPS for each server or network switch located there to ensure that the correct functioning of any piece of equipment shall not be interrupted until highly effective generators start providing the necessary electrical power. The latter can power the whole center for quite a while without the need to turn off any devices, so each of the websites hosted on our web servers will continue to work at top speed and without any effect on their functionality. These power backup options enable us to ensure that a potential outage will never be a reason for your sites to go offline or to have lowered functionality.
