UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems that are kept by web hosting providers inside their data centers in case there are interruptions in the main power supply or the current is shaky and unable to support the proper running of the web servers located in the facility. UPS stands for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it is an effective battery that works non-stop. It's connected to both the electrical power network and the web servers all of the time, so in case the power stops, the UPS is already operational, which helps prevent the web servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is an engine that can provide the needed electrical power to keep the machines working for a longer period of time. In the event of an outage, the UPS gives the required time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the primary power supply is restored.
