UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. That is a battery which is used to power some type of computer or a hosting server in order to avoid the loss of information if the main power source fails for some reason 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 power supply and to guarantee the continuous operation of all of the servers located there. Due to the fact that the UPS runs all the time, it offers the required power for the machines to remain working until the generator starts and takes over. Using such a backup is essential for any data center or provider that wants to keep their hardware and info intact in case there is a power surge or outage, because it offers them enough time to react until the issue is resolved and the main power supply is restored.

UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Shared Web Hosting

The 99.9% network and web server uptime warranty which we offer is, somewhat, a result of the electrical power backup setup that we have in every of the 3 data centers where we offer shared web hosting packages - in Chicago (USA), in Coventry (UK), and in Sydney (Australia). If you purchase a new account to build or move your Internet sites, it will be created on a progressive cloud platform which consists of several clusters handling your content. Every single server in the specific cluster provides its own powerful enterprise-class UPS to keep it up and running no matter what, until a lot of electric power generators boot up and provide the required power for the entire center to be operating for many hours. You'll not notice anything even in case there is a disruption, due to the fact that our backup units can power all the devices and we will not need to limit the total number of working web servers or the network equipment which addresses the traffic to your sites.

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

If you purchase a semi-dedicated server account from our company, it'll be created on a cutting-edge hosting platform in a data center with a superb infrastructure. The Chicago-based center uses an individual UPS for each server or network switch located there to make sure that the proper operation of any unit will not be interrupted until powerful generators start supplying the necessary electrical power. The latter can easily power the entire center for a very long time without having to turn off any equipment, so each of the sites hosted on our machines will continue to work at top speed and without any effect on their efficiency. These power backup options permit us to guarantee that any outage will never be a reason for your Internet sites to go offline or to have reduced functionality.
