UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems which are kept by hosting service providers within their data centers in case there are interruptions in the primary power source or the current is unstable and unable to sustain the proper operation of the machines based within the facility. UPS stands for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it is a highly effective battery that works non-stop. It is connected to both the electrical power network and the servers at all times, so when the power stops, the UPS is already working, which helps prevent the web servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is an engine which can deliver the required electrical power to keep the machines up and running for a longer period of time. In the case of an outage, the UPS provides the needed time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the main source is restored.

UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you purchase a semi-dedicated server account from us, it will be created on a cutting-edge hosting platform inside a data center with a fantastic infrastructure. The Chicago-based facility uses a different UPS for every hosting server or network switch located there to ensure that the correct operation of any piece of equipment won't be disrupted until highly effective generators start producing the required electricity. The latter can easily power the whole center for quite a while with no need to shut down any equipment, so all the sites hosted on our machines will continue to work at optimum speed and with zero effect on their efficiency. These electric power backup options permit us to guarantee that a potential outage will never be a reason for your sites to go offline or to have lowered functionality.
