UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems which are kept by website hosting providers within their data centers in the event there are interruptions in the primary power source or the current is unstable and unable to support the proper functioning of the servers based in the facility. UPS refers to Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it is a powerful battery that works non-stop. It is connected to both the electric power network and the servers at all times, so if the power stops, the UPS is already operational, which prevents the machines from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is an engine that can supply the needed power to keep the machines working for a longer period of time. In the case of 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 server uptime warranty that we provide you with is, in part, a result of the power backup setup we have in each of the three data centers where we provide cloud website hosting packages - in Chicago (USA), in Coventry (UK), and in Sydney (Australia). If you obtain a new account to build or move your sites, it'll be created on a cutting-edge cloud platform which consists of many clusters dealing with your content. Every server inside the specific cluster features its own effective enterprise-class UPS to keep it working no matter what, until several electric power generators boot up and provide the necessary power for the whole facility to remain working for several hours. You will not notice anything even if there is an outage, because our backup units will power each of the devices and we will not have to restrict the quantity of working hosting servers or the network equipment that addresses the traffic to your sites.

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

The semi-dedicated server accounts that we offer are created in a state-of-the-art data center in downtown Chicago and its electrical power backup system is one of the reasons why we are able to guarantee a 99.9% uptime for both the web servers that are part of our innovative website hosting platform and the network which handles all the traffic to and from them. An individual UPS system is connected to every single machine to keep it online until numerous generators kick in. The latter are efficient enough to offer electrical power for the whole facility for a long time without the need to restrict the power consumption or the overall performance of any hosting server or network device, so even in the event that there is an interruption, all of the websites hosted on our platform shall still be accessible without disruptions and will function at top speed.
