UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems that are kept by website hosting companies inside their data centers in the event that there are interruptions in the primary power source or the current is unstable and unable to sustain the correct running of the servers based in the facility. UPS refers to Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it is an efficient battery that works non-stop. It's connected to both the electric power network and the servers constantly, so in case the power stops, the UPS is already functioning, which helps prevent the servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is literally an engine which can provide the necessary electric power to keep the web servers operational for a longer period of time. If there is an outage, the UPS provides the needed time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the primary power source is restored.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Cloud Hosting
If you host your sites in a cloud hosting account with us, you will be able to forget about troubles caused by electrical power failures, due to the fact that, different from many other providers, we don't keep numerous web servers attached to one UPS. Rather, every hosting server which is part of our avant-garde cloud platform features its own UPS unit which will keep it up and running for hours. Moreover, our data centers in the United States, in the UK and in Australia have numerous generators that boot up for minutes and which can power all of the web servers for an extensive period of time. In this way, the functionality of your sites or their loading speed won't be affected, so you'll be able to enjoy an uninterrupted high-quality hosting service constantly.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you order a semi-dedicated server account from us, it'll be created on a cutting-edge hosting platform in a data center with an excellent infrastructure. The Chicago-based facility uses an individual UPS for each web server or network switch located there to ensure that the proper functioning of any piece of equipment shall not be disturbed until highly effective generators start supplying the needed electrical power. The latter can easily power the whole data center for quite a long time with no need to shut down any devices, so all the sites hosted on our servers will continue to work at top speed and with zero effect on their functionality. These electrical power backup options permit us to guarantee that a potential outage will never be a reason for your sites to go offline or to have reduced functionality.
