UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems which are kept by hosting providers within their data centers in case there are interruptions in the primary power source or the current is shaky and unable to sustain the appropriate running of the web servers situated inside the facility. UPS stands for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's an efficient battery which works non-stop. It's connected to both the power network and the web servers at all times, so when the power stops, the UPS is already functioning, which helps prevent the web servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is literally an engine which can provide the needed energy to keep the servers working for a longer period of time. If there is an outage, the UPS provides the required time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the main power supply is restored.

The latter can power the whole data center for quite a long time with no need to turn off any devices, so all the websites hosted on our servers shall continue to operate at top speed and with zero effect on their performance. These electrical power backup options permit us to ensure that a potential outage will never be a reason for your sites to go offline or to have lowered functionality.
