UPSs and diesel generators are 2 backup systems that are kept by web hosting service providers within their data centers in the event that there are interruptions in the main power supply or the current is unstable and unable to support the correct functioning of the web servers located in 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 servers at all times, so anytime the power stops, the UPS is already operational, which prevents the machines from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is literally an engine that can supply the required power to keep the servers functioning for a longer period of time. In the case of an outage, the UPS provides the required time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the main power source is restored.

The 99.9% network and server uptime warranty that we provide is, in part, a result of the electrical power backup setup we have in every of the three data centers in which we provide shared hosting packages - in Chicago (USA), in Coventry (UK), and in Sydney (Australia).

Each and every machine within the selected cluster has its own powerful enterprise-class UPS to keep it operational no matter what, until a lot of power generators boot up and provide the necessary power for the whole data center to stay functional for many hours. You won't notice anything even in the event there's an interruption, since our backup units can power each of the devices and we shall not have to reduce the total number of working hosting servers or the network equipment which addresses the traffic to your Internet sites.
