A UPS Battery Backup is useful when the power in your area frequently blacks out or you get a lot of power surges or brown outs (not enough power but some there). They keep your server working when there is no mains power present so your server can continue to work as normal.
My UPS is small because it does not need to power a lot of equipment, just 2 servers at present. It will last around 10-15 minutes before the battery becomes too low to support the load. The UPS then turns off. It will continue to run if the mains comes back on it the time it supports the load and it will continue as normal.
As blackouts and brownouts are very uncommon I thought a small UPS would do just fine, and up to now it has.
FileZilla FTP Server - This is the FTP server that people I host for connect to. This allows them to upload their files to the server which are then accessible through their URL.
Abyss X2 - This is the HTTP program and it runs all the websites (including this one) on the server.
NO-IP Client - This updates my IP address to a remote DNS server if it should change. This then updates all the domains that connect to the server.
Ghost 9.0 Backup - This is the backup client for the websites. It performs daily backups of all the websites.
MySQL - This is the opensource database client that runs in the background.
