UPSs and diesel generators are 2 backup systems which are kept by website hosting companies in their data centers in the event that there are interruptions in the primary power supply or the current is shaky and unable to sustain the proper running of the machines based in the facility. UPS is short for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it is an effective battery which works non-stop. It is connected to both the electrical power network and the servers consistently, so anytime the power stops, the UPS is already up and running, which prevents the machines from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is definitely an engine that can give you the necessary electric power to keep the web servers up and running for a longer period of time. In case of an outage, the UPS provides the needed time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the main power supply is restored.

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

The semi-dedicated server accounts which we offer you are created within a state-of-the-art data center in the downtown area of Chicago and its electric power backup system is among 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 that handles all the traffic to and from them. An individual UPS system is connected to every single server to keep it online until several generators kick in. The latter are powerful enough to supply electricity for the whole facility for a long time without having to limit the power consumption or the efficiency of any server or network device, so even when there is a blackout, all of the Internet sites hosted on our platform will still be accessible without any disturbances and will function at top speed.
