UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. This is a battery used to power your personal computer or a web server to avoid the loss of information when the main power supply fails for whatever reason or becomes unstable. A diesel generator pretty much self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are widely-used as a backup in data centers to back up the power and to guarantee the continuous functioning of all of the servers located there. As the UPS operates constantly, it provides the necessary power for the servers to remain operational until the generator starts and takes over. Using this kind of a backup is critical for any data center or hosting company that wants to keep their hardware and information intact in the event of a power surge or outage, since it offers them plenty of time to react until the problem is resolved and the main power supply is restored.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Shared Web Hosting
We offer Linux shared web hosting in 3 of the biggest data centers globally. They're situated in the United States, in the UK and in Australia. Due to the fact that data integrity and server uptime are our priorities, all 3 facilities have a few backup systems against electric power outages. Several diesel generators can keep the web servers up and running for hours or even for a couple of days and each machine that's part of our cutting-edge cloud platform features its own enterprise-class UPS to keep it working until the generators start working. This setup is one of the reasons why we're able to guarantee a 99.9% server and network uptime, so if you host your sites within a shared account with our company, you'll enjoy a fast and extraordinary service without having to worry about any disruptions due to electrical power outages.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The semi-dedicated server accounts we offer you are created inside 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 are able to guarantee a 99.9% uptime for both the machines that are part of our sophisticated web hosting platform and the network that manages all of the traffic to and from them. An individual UPS unit is attached to every single machine to keep it online until a variety of generators kick in. The latter are effective enough to supply electrical power for the whole center for many hours without having to limit the power consumption or the overall performance of any server or network device, so even if there is a blackout, all of the Internet sites hosted on our platform will still be accessible with no interruptions and will perform at top speed.
