UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems which are kept by web hosting service providers inside their data centers in case there are interruptions in the main power supply or the current is unstable and unable to support the correct functioning of the web servers situated within 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's connected to both the electric power network and the web servers at all times, so anytime the power stops, the UPS is already operational, which helps prevent the servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is an engine which can give you the necessary electrical power to keep the machines operational for a longer period of time. In the event of an outage, the UPS gives the needed time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the main source is restored.
