UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems that are kept by web hosting service providers in their data centers in case there are interruptions in the primary power source or the current is unstable and unable to maintain the proper functioning of the machines located inside the facility. UPS is short for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's an efficient battery that works non-stop. It's connected to both the power network and the servers constantly, so if the power stops, the UPS is already working, which helps prevent the machines from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is an engine which can give you the necessary electrical power to keep the servers working for a longer period of time. If there is an outage, the UPS gives the needed time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the primary power source is restored.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Shared Hosting
If you host your Internet sites in a shared hosting account with our company, you can forget about troubles caused by power failures, since, in contrast to many other providers, we don't keep numerous servers attached to just one UPS. Alternatively, each and every server which is part of our avant-garde cloud platform comes with its own UPS unit which can keep it working for hours. In addition, our data centers in the USA, in the UK and in Australia have many different generators which boot up for minutes and that are able to power all of the servers for an extensive length of time. That way, the performance of your Internet sites or their loading speed won't be affected, so you may enjoy an uninterrupted high-quality web hosting service constantly.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you get a semi-dedicated server account from our company, it shall be set up on a cutting-edge hosting platform inside a data center with an outstanding infrastructure. The Chicago-based data center uses a separate UPS for every single server or network switch located there to make certain that the correct functioning of any piece of equipment shall not be disrupted until effective generators start producing the needed electrical power. The latter will power the entire data center for a very long time without the need to shut down any devices, so all the Internet sites hosted on our machines shall continue to function at max speed and with no effect on their performance. These power backup options allow us to guarantee that a possible outage will never be a reason for your websites to go offline or to have limited functionality.
