UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator

Understand more about UPSs & diesel backup generators and discover why every single hosting data center offers them.

UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. That's a battery which is used to power a personal computer or a web server in order to avoid the loss of information when the main power supply fails for some reason or becomes risky. A diesel generator is more or less self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are widely-used as a backup in data centers to back up the power and to guarantee the uninterrupted operation of all the servers located there. As the UPS works at all times, it offers the necessary power for the web servers to remain operational until the generator starts and takes over. Using this type of a backup is a must for any data center or service provider that wants to keep their hardware and data intact in case there is a power surge or outage, as it gives them ample time to react until the issue is resolved and the primary power supply is restored.

UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Cloud Hosting

If you host your Internet sites inside a cloud hosting account with our company, you can forget about issues caused by power outages, since, different from various other providers, we do not keep many different servers attached to a single UPS. Alternatively, each hosting server that is part of our avant-garde cloud platform features its own UPS device that will keep it working for a long time. Moreover, our data centers in the USA, in the United Kingdom and in Australia have numerous generators which boot up for minutes and which can power all of the servers for an extensive stretch of time. This way, the functionality of your websites 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

The semi-dedicated server accounts which we offer are created inside a state-of-the-art data center in the town center of Chicago and its power backup system is amongst the reasons why we can afford to guarantee a 99.9% uptime for both the machines that are part of our highly developed website hosting platform and the network which deals with all of the traffic to and from them. An individual UPS system is attached to every hosting server to keep it online until a number of generators kick in. The latter are potent enough to deliver electrical power for the entire center for several hours with no need to minimize the power consumption or the overall performance of any hosting server or network device, so even in case there is an outage, all of the websites hosted on our platform will still be accessible without any interruptions and will operate at top speed.
