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 hosting server in order to avoid the loss of data if the main power supply fails for reasons unknown or becomes unstable. A diesel generator is more or less self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are used as a backup in data centers to back up the main power source and to guarantee the uninterrupted running of all of the web servers located there. Since the UPS works all the time, it offers the desired power for the servers to remain functioning until the generator starts and takes over. Using this sort of a backup is critical for any data center or hosting company that wants to keep their hardware and data intact in the event of a power surge or outage, because it offers them ample time to react until the problem is resolved and the main power supply is restored.

UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Shared Hosting

If you get a shared hosting package from us, you will never need to bother about potential electric power outages causing the loss of important information, even if you host very important websites on our web servers. All of the machines that are part of our groundbreaking cluster platform use efficient UPSs that can keep them functional for a long time period - sufficient for a lot of diesel generators to begin operating and take over. The latter are efficient enough to keep each of the three facilities entirely functional for many hours and without any limits, so your Internet sites will continue to function effectively and with no delays or limits. The power backup is amongst the elements behind our 99.9% service uptime guarantee.

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

The semi-dedicated server accounts we offer are created in a state-of-the-art data center in downtown Chicago and its electrical power backup system is one of the reasons why we are able to guarantee a 99.9% uptime for both the web servers which are part of our highly developed web hosting platform and the network which deals with all of the traffic to and from them. An individual UPS unit is attached to each and every machine to keep it online until a variety of generators kick in. The latter are powerful enough to offer electrical power for the entire facility for a long time with no need to minimize the power consumption or the productivity of any hosting server or network device, so even in case there is an outage, all the sites hosted on our platform will still be accessible without any interruptions and will perform at top speed.
