The UPS and the diesel generator are two devices for keeping a server functional if there are issues with the primary power source - an outage or shaky current that cannot keep the machine working correctly, for example. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, though it can often be called Uninterruptible Power Source too. The UPS is, in essence, a powerful battery that's connected to the server and to the electric power network at all times, so in case there is any disruption, it is already working, that permits the web server to keep on operating without losing any data. The diesel generator is an engine that will power up the whole data center. It does take some time to begin working and it's the UPS which gives it this time. Those 2 power solutions are fundamental for any facility or hosting company that wants to stop information loss and hardware damage caused by an unexpected electrical power issue.

UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Website Hosting

We offer Linux website hosting in three of the largest data centers globally. They're based in the U.S., in the UK and in Australia. As data security and web server uptime are our priorities, all three facilities have a number of backup systems against electrical power outages. A few diesel generators can keep the servers up and running for hours or even for a few days and every machine which is part of our cutting-edge cloud platform has its own enterprise-class UPS to keep it functional until the generators begin working. This setup is one of the reasons why we can guarantee a 99.9% server and network uptime, so if you host your sites inside a shared account with us, you'll enjoy a fast and outstanding service without having to worry about any disturbances due to electric power outages.

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

If you get a semi-dedicated server account from us, it shall be created on a cutting-edge hosting platform inside a data center with an excellent infrastructure. The Chicago-based data center uses a different UPS for each and every web server or network switch located there to make certain that the correct operation of any piece of equipment will not be disturbed until efficient generators start supplying the necessary electricity. The latter will be able to power the entire facility for quite a long time without having to shut down any devices, so all the websites hosted on our hosting servers will continue to operate at maximum speed and with no effect on their functionality. These electrical power backup options allow us to ensure that a potential outage will never be a reason for your websites to go offline or to have lowered functionality.
