UPSs and diesel generators are 2 backup systems that are kept by website hosting companies inside their data centers in the event that there are interruptions in the main power supply or the current is unsound and unable to support the proper operation of the servers situated within the facility. UPS refers to Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it is a highly effective battery that works non-stop. It's connected to both the electric power network and the web servers consistently, so when the power stops, the UPS is already up and running, which prevents the web servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is an engine that can provide the necessary power to keep the machines working for a longer period of time. In case of an outage, the UPS provides the necessary time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the primary power source is restored.

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

The semi-dedicated server accounts we provide are created within a state-of-the-art data center in the town center of Chicago and its electric power backup system is amongst the reasons why we are able to guarantee a 99.9% uptime for both the web servers that are part of our advanced web hosting platform and the network which handles all the traffic to and from them. An individual UPS unit is connected to each server to keep it online until numerous generators kick in. The latter are efficient enough to deliver electric power for the whole center for many hours without having to reduce the power consumption or the productivity of any web server or network device, so even in the event that there is an outage, all of the sites hosted on our platform will still be accessible without any disturbances and will function at top speed.
