The UPS and the diesel generator are two devices for keeping a web server operational if there are problems with the primary power supply - a disruption or unstable current that cannot keep the web server working correctly, for example. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, even though it is oftentimes called Uninterruptible Power Source as well. The UPS is, basically, a powerful battery that's attached to the server and to the power network all of the time, so in the case of any interruption, it's already functioning, which allows the server to carry on running without losing any information. The diesel generator is an engine which can power up a whole data center. It does take some time to begin working and it's the UPS which provides that time. These 2 power solutions are fundamental for any facility or service provider that wants to avoid info loss and hardware damage caused by an unexpected electric power problem.

We offer you hosting in 3 of the major data centers globally. They're situated in the U.S., in the United kingdom and in Australia. Due to the fact that data protection and hosting server uptime are our priorities, all 3 facilities have a number of backup systems against electric power outages. A few diesel generators can keep the web servers functional for hours or even for a few days and every machine that's part of our cutting-edge cloud platform features its own enterprise-class UPS to keep it operational until the generators kick in. This setup is one of the reasons why we're able to guarantee a 99.9% server and network uptime, so if you host your sites inside a shared account with our company, you will enjoy a fast and flawless service without worrying about any disturbances due to electric power outages.

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

The semi-dedicated server accounts that we provide you with are created inside a state-of-the-art data center in the downtown area of Chicago and its electrical power backup system is amongst the reasons why we can afford to guarantee a 99.9% uptime for both the machines that are part of our innovative hosting platform and the network that addresses all the traffic to and from them. An individual UPS device is attached to every single machine to keep it online until numerous generators kick in. The latter are effective enough to supply electrical power for the whole center for a long time without the need to limit the power consumption or the productivity of any web server or network device, so even in case there is a blackout, all of the sites hosted on our platform will still be accessible without interruptions and will operate at top speed.
