UPSs and diesel generators are two 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 unstable and unable to support the correct running of the servers situated in the facility. UPS is short for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's a highly effective battery which works non-stop. It is connected to both the power network and the web servers constantly, so if the power stops, the UPS is already working, which prevents the web servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is an engine that can provide you with the necessary electric power to keep the web servers operational for a longer period of time. In case of an outage, the UPS provides the necessary time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the primary power source is restored.

We offer Linux hosting in three of the major data centers throughout the world. They're situated in the United States, in the UK and in Australia. Due to the fact that data protection and server uptime are our priorities, all three facilities have numerous backup systems against electric power outages. A few diesel generators can keep the servers functional for hours or even for a couple of days and every machine that is part of our cutting-edge cloud platform provides its own enterprise-class UPS to keep it working until the generators start working. This setup is among the reasons why you can easily promise a 99.9% server and network uptime, so if you host your Internet sites inside a shared account with us, you will benefit from a fast and flawless service and never having to worry about any disturbances due to electrical power outages.

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

If you buy a semi-dedicated server account from us, it'll be created on a cutting-edge hosting platform inside a data center with an excellent infrastructure. The Chicago-based facility uses an independent UPS for every single server or network switch located there to make sure that the proper operation of any device won't be disrupted until highly effective generators start providing the needed electrical power. The latter will be able to power the whole data center for a very long time without the need to turn off any equipment, so each of the Internet sites hosted on our web servers will continue to operate at max speed and without any effect on their overall performance. These electrical power backup options permit us to ensure that any outage will never be a reason for your websites to go offline or to have lowered functionality.
