The UPS and the diesel generator are two devices for keeping a web server operational if there are issues with the primary source - an interruption or shaky current that cannot keep the machine functional, for instance. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, although it can often be called Uninterruptible Power Source as well. The UPS is, essentially, an effective battery which is attached to the web server and to the power network consistently, so if there is any interruption, it is already operating, that permits the hosting server to continue working without losing any info. The diesel generator is an engine that can power up the entire data center. It needs some time to begin working and it is the UPS which gives it this time. Those two power solutions are an absolute necessity for any facility or hosting company that wants to stop info loss and hardware damage resulting from an unexpected electric power issue.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Shared Website Hosting
We offer Linux shared website hosting in 3 of the largest data centers globally. They are located in the USA, in the United kingdom and in Australia. Due to the fact that data protection and server uptime are our priorities, all three facilities have a few backup systems against electric power outages. A few diesel generators can keep the servers up and running for hours or even for a few days and each machine that's part of our cutting-edge cloud platform has its own enterprise-class UPS to keep it operational until the generators begin working. This setup is among the reasons why we're able to promise a 99.9% server and network uptime, so if you host your websites in a shared account with our company, you'll take advantage of a fast and extraordinary service and never having to worry about any interruptions due to power outages.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you buy a semi-dedicated server account from our company, it'll be set up on a cutting-edge hosting platform in a data center with an outstanding infrastructure. The Chicago-based data center uses an individual UPS for each web server or network switch located there to make certain that the proper functioning of any device won't be disturbed until highly effective generators start providing the necessary electricity. The latter can easily power the entire center for quite a long time without the need to turn off any machines, so all of the websites hosted on our web servers will continue to work at top speed and with zero effect on their capabilities. These electric power backup options enable us to ensure that a potential outage will never be a reason for your sites to go offline or to have limited functionality.
