The UPS and the diesel generator are two means for keeping a web server functional if there are issues with the primary power supply - an outage or shaky current that cannot keep the server working properly, for instance. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, even though it can often be called Uninterruptible Power Source as well. The UPS is, in essence, a highly effective battery which is attached to the web server and to the power network at all times, so in case of any disturbance, it is already operating, which enables the web server to continue doing the job without losing any information. The diesel generator is an engine which can power up a whole data center. It does take some time to start working and it is the UPS that gives it that time. These two power solutions are a requirement for any facility or provider that wants to prevent info loss and hardware damage resulting from an unexpected power issue.

We offer you Linux shared hosting in three of the biggest data centers around the world. They are located in the United States, in the UK and in Australia. Considering that data integrity and hosting server uptime are our priorities, all 3 facilities have several backup systems against electrical power outages. Several diesel generators can keep the web servers operational for hours or even for a couple of days and each and every machine that is part of our cutting-edge cloud platform provides its own enterprise-class UPS to keep it functional until the generators start working.

UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Semi-dedicated Servers
The semi-dedicated server accounts 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 are able to afford to guarantee a 99.9% uptime for both the machines which are part of our advanced hosting platform and the network which deals with all the traffic to and from them. An individual UPS unit is attached to each server to keep it online until numerous generators kick in. The latter are effective enough to supply electrical power for the whole facility for several hours with no need to limit the power consumption or the functionality of any hosting server or network device, so even in the event that there is an outage, all the websites hosted on our platform will still be accessible without interruptions and will perform at top speed.
