UPSs and diesel generators are 2 backup systems which are kept by hosting companies in their data centers in the event there are interruptions in the main power source or the current is shaky and unable to support the appropriate running of the machines located in the facility. UPS stands for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's a highly effective battery that works non-stop. It is connected to both the electrical power network and the web servers at all times, so when the power stops, the UPS is already operational, which helps prevent the web servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is literally an engine which can deliver the necessary electric power to keep the machines up and running for a longer period of time. In case there is an outage, the UPS gives the necessary time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the main power source is restored.

UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Shared Hosting

We offer you shared hosting service in three of the largest sized data centers throughout the world. They are located in the U.S., in the United kingdom and in Australia. As data safety and server uptime are our priorities, all 3 facilities have several backup systems against power outages. A few diesel generators can keep the web servers operational for hours or even for a couple of days and each machine that's part of our cutting-edge cloud platform includes its own enterprise-class UPS to keep it operational until the generators begin working. This setup is one of the reasons why we're able to guarantee a 99.9% web server and network uptime, so if you host your sites inside a shared account with us, you'll benefit from a fast and extraordinary service without worrying about any interruptions due to electric power outages.

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

If you order a semi-dedicated server account from our company, it shall be created on a cutting-edge hosting platform within a data center with an outstanding infrastructure. The Chicago-based data center uses a different UPS for every hosting server or network switch located there to make certain that the correct operation of any unit will not be disrupted until highly effective generators start producing the required electric power. The latter will power the whole center for quite a long time without the need to turn off any machines, so each of the websites hosted on our servers will continue to function at top speed and with no effect on their functionality. These electrical power backup options permit us to guarantee that a potential outage will never be a reason for your websites to go offline or to have limited functionality.
