UPSs and diesel generators are 2 backup systems which are kept by web hosting companies inside their data centers in case there are interruptions in the primary power source or the current is unstable and unable to maintain the appropriate functioning of the servers situated inside the facility. UPS is short for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it is a highly effective battery which works non-stop. It is connected to both the electric power network and the web servers consistently, so if the power stops, the UPS is already working, which helps prevent the machines from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is certainly an engine which can provide the necessary electrical power to keep the web servers operational for a longer period of time. If there is an outage, the UPS gives the required time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the main power supply is restored.

In addition, our data centers in the USA, in the UK and in Australia have multiple generators that boot up for minutes and that will power all of the web servers for an extensive amount of time. That way, the features of your websites or their loading speed will not be affected, so you can enjoy an uninterrupted high-quality hosting service all the time.
