UPSs and diesel generators are 2 backup systems which are kept by web hosting companies in their data centers in case there are interruptions in the main power source or the current is unstable and unable to maintain the appropriate functioning of the web servers situated inside the facility. UPS stands for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's a powerful battery which works non-stop. It's connected to both the electrical power network and the servers consistently, so if the power stops, the UPS is already operational, which prevents the web servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is an engine which can provide the needed power to keep the servers working for a longer period of time. In 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 supply is restored.
