The UPS and the diesel generator are two means for keeping a server operational in case there are difficulties with the main source - an outage or unreliable current that cannot keep the hosting server functioning properly, for instance. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, even though it is sometimes referred to as Uninterruptible Power Source as well. The UPS is, essentially, a powerful battery that's connected to the web server and to the electric power network consistently, so in the case of any disruption, it is already functioning, that permits the web server to continue working without losing any information. The diesel generator is an engine which will power up the entire data center. It does take some time to begin working and it's the UPS that provides that time. Those two power solutions are a requirement for any facility or provider that wants to stop data loss and hardware damage caused by an unexpected electric power issue.

UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Web Hosting

The 99.9% network and web server uptime guarantee that we offer you is, in part, a result of the power backup setup which we have in every of the 3 data centers where we offer web hosting packages - in Chicago (USA), in Coventry (UK), and in Sydney (Australia). If you purchase a new account to develop or move your Internet sites, it shall be set up on a progressive cloud platform that consists of several clusters dealing with your content. Every single hosting server in the specific cluster has its own efficient enterprise-class UPS to keep it functioning no matter what, until quite a few power generators boot up and provide the necessary power for the entire data center to remain operating for a lot of hours. You will not notice anything even in case there's an outage, as our backup units can easily power all of the devices and we won't have to limit the total number of working hosting servers or the network equipment which deals with the traffic to your Internet sites.
