The UPS and the diesel generator are 2 instruments for keeping a web server working in case there are difficulties with the main power source - a disruption or unreliable current that cannot keep the hosting server working correctly, for example. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, even though it is sometimes referred to as Uninterruptible Power Source too. The UPS is, basically, a powerful battery that's attached to the server and to the power network all the time, so in case there is any disruption, it is already functioning, which allows the server to continue doing the job without losing any data. The diesel generator is an engine that will power up the entire data center. It does take some time to start working and it is the UPS that provides this time. Those two power solutions are a requirement for any facility or provider that wants to stop info loss and hardware damage resulting from an unexpected electric power issue.

UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Hosting

If you host your sites inside a hosting account with us, you can forget about complications caused by electric power blackouts, simply because, in contrast to all kinds of other providers, we don't keep many hosting servers attached to just one UPS. Rather, each and every web server that's part of our avant-garde cloud platform comes with its own UPS unit which will be able to keep it working for many hours. Moreover, our data centers in the U.S., in the United Kingdom and in Australia have numerous generators that boot up for minutes and which can power all of the servers for an extensive length of time. That way, the performance of your websites or their loading speed will not be affected, so you are able to enjoy an uninterrupted high-quality web hosting service constantly.

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

The semi-dedicated server accounts which we offer you are created inside a state-of-the-art data center in the town center of Chicago and its electric power backup system is one of the reasons why we are able to afford to guarantee a 99.9% uptime for both the hosting servers that are part of our highly developed hosting platform and the network which manages all of the traffic to and from them. An individual UPS unit is attached to every machine to keep it online until a number of generators kick in. The latter are effective enough to supply electrical power for the whole facility for many hours without the need to minimize the power consumption or the efficiency of any hosting server or network device, so even if there is an interruption, all the Internet sites hosted on our platform will still be available without any disruptions and will perform at top speed.
