UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems which are kept by web hosting service providers inside their data centers in the event that there are interruptions in the primary power supply or the current is unstable and unable to support the proper operation of the servers situated in the facility. UPS is short for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's an effective battery that works non-stop. It is connected to both the electric power network and the servers all of the time, so anytime the power stops, the UPS is already functioning, which prevents the web servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is literally an engine that can give you the necessary energy to keep the machines working for a longer period of time. In case there is an outage, the UPS gives the required time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the main source is restored.

UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Shared Hosting

The 99.9% network and web server uptime guarantee that we offer is, somewhat, a result of the power backup setup which we have in every of the three data centers in which we provide shared hosting packages - in Chicago (USA), in Coventry (UK), and in Sydney (Australia). If you obtain a new account to create or move your sites, it will be set up on a cutting-edge cloud platform which consists of several clusters taking care of your content. Every single machine within the given cluster has its own highly effective enterprise-class UPS to keep it operational no matter what, until several electrical power generators boot up and provide the necessary power for the entire center to be operating for a lot of hours. You will not notice anything even if there's an interruption, due to the fact that our backup units could power all of the devices and we shall not have to restrict the quantity of working hosting servers or the network equipment which manages the traffic to your Internet sites.

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

If you buy a semi-dedicated server account from us, it will be set up on a cutting-edge hosting platform in a data center with an outstanding infrastructure. The Chicago-based data center uses a separate UPS for every web server or network switch located there to ensure that the correct operation of any piece of equipment will not be disrupted until effective generators start producing the required electric power. The latter are able to power the entire data center for quite a while without the need to turn off any devices, so each of the sites hosted on our hosting servers shall continue to function at optimum speed and with no effect on their capabilities. These electrical power backup options allow us to guarantee that a possible outage will never be a reason for your sites to go offline or to have minimized functionality.
