UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. That's a battery that is used to power some type of computer or a server to prevent the loss of data when the main source of energy fails for some reason or becomes unsafe. A diesel generator basically self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are used as a backup in data centers to back up the power supply and to ensure the uninterrupted functioning of all the web servers located there. Due to the fact that the UPS operates all the time, it provides the required power for the web servers to remain functioning until the generator starts and takes over. Using this type of a backup is critical for any data center or service provider that wants to keep their hardware and data intact in the case of a power surge or outage, because it offers them plenty of time to react until the issue is resolved and the primary power supply is restored.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Shared Hosting
The 99.9% network and hosting server uptime guarantee which we offer is, in part, a result of the electric power backup setup we have in every of the 3 data centers where we offer shared hosting plans - 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 progressive cloud platform that consists of many clusters handling your content. Every single hosting server in the given cluster has its own potent enterprise-class UPS to keep it up and running no matter what, until a number of electric power generators boot up and provide the required power for the whole facility to be functional for a lot of hours. You won't notice anything even in the event there's a disruption, because our backup units can power all of the devices and we will not need to restrict the number of working servers or the network equipment which manages the traffic to your Internet sites.

The latter are powerful enough to have everything working at optimum capacity, so we'll not have to shut down any hosting servers or to use fewer network devices, which could slow the loading speed of your websites or affect their efficiency. This top-notch electrical power setup is one of the reasons for our 99.9% hosting server and network uptime warranty, that is valid for all semi-dedicated solutions that we're offering.
