UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. That is a battery that is used to power your personal computer or a web server to prevent the loss of data when the main source of energy fails for reasons unknown or becomes risky. A diesel generator is more or less self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are used as a backup in data centers to back up the main power source and to ensure the continuous operation of all the web servers located there. Due to the fact that the UPS works at all times, it offers the desired power for the servers to remain functioning until the generator starts and takes over. Using this sort of a backup is vital for any data center or provider that wants to keep their hardware and data intact in the case of a power surge or outage, as it gives them enough time to react until the issue is resolved and the main power supply is restored.

In addition, our data centers in the United States, in the United Kingdom and in Australia have multiple generators that boot up for minutes and which are able to power all the servers for an extensive length of time. This way, the features of your sites or their loading speed will not be affected, so you are able to enjoy an uninterrupted high-quality web hosting service all of the time.

The semi-dedicated server accounts we provide are created in a state-of-the-art data center in the downtown area of Chicago and its electrical power backup system is among the reasons why we can afford to guarantee a 99.9% uptime for both the hosting servers that are part of our highly developed hosting platform and the network that handles all the traffic to and from them. An individual UPS unit is connected to each and every server to keep it online until a variety of generators kick in. The latter are effective enough to provide electric power for the entire facility for many hours without having to restrict the power consumption or the functionality of any hosting server or network device, so even in case there is an interruption, all of the Internet sites hosted on our platform shall still be available with no disruptions and will perform at top speed.
