UPSs and diesel generators are 2 backup systems which are kept by website hosting service providers inside their data centers in the event there are interruptions in the main power source or the current is shaky and unable to support the correct functioning of the machines situated in the facility. UPS is short for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's a highly effective battery which works non-stop. It's connected to both the electric power network and the web servers at all times, so anytime the power stops, the UPS is already working, which helps prevent the servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is literally an engine which can provide the needed energy to keep the machines operational for a longer period of time. In the case of an outage, the UPS gives the necessary time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the primary power source is restored.
