UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. This is a battery used to power a PC or a server to avoid the loss of information if the main power source fails for some reason or becomes risky. 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 ensure the uninterrupted running of all the servers located there. As the UPS operates all the time, it offers the required power for the web servers to remain working until the generator starts and takes over. Using this kind of a backup is vital for any data center or hosting company that wants to keep their hardware and information intact in 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 Website Hosting

The 99.9% network and server uptime warranty that we provide you with is, to some extent, a result of the electric power backup setup which we have in every of the three data centers in which we offer website hosting packages - in Chicago (USA), in Coventry (UK), and in Sydney (Australia). If you obtain a new account to create or move your Internet sites, it'll be set up on a cutting-edge cloud platform that consists of a number of clusters handling your content. Each and every server within the specific cluster has its own effective enterprise-class UPS to keep it operational no matter what, until several electric power generators boot up and provide the necessary power for the whole facility to be working for several hours. You will not notice anything even in the event there's an interruption, as our backup units can power all the devices and we shall not need to restrict the number of working servers or the network equipment which handles the traffic to your Internet sites.

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

If you purchase a semi-dedicated server account from us, it'll be created on a cutting-edge hosting platform within a data center with an incredible infrastructure. The Chicago-based facility uses a different UPS for each and every server or network switch located there to make sure that the ideal operation of any device won't be disturbed until powerful generators start providing the necessary electrical power. The latter can power the whole center for quite a while without having to shut down any devices, so each of the websites hosted on our hosting servers shall continue to function at maximum speed and without any effect on their capabilities. These power backup options allow us to ensure that a possible outage will never be a reason for your Internet sites to go offline or to have minimized functionality.
