Why you need green hosting
Did you know the internet costs a lot to power? Roughly over 400 terawatt-hours a year. While an individual website’s footprint is small, it all adds up. For example, it is estimated that the internet is responsible for around 3.7% of global greenhouse gas emissions. That’s similar to the amount produced by the global airline industry.
With our green hosting, you can be assured that your websites are stored on servers that avoid contributing to climate change. We therefore pass the Green Web Foundation’s sustainability checks.
Our sustainable data centres
- 100% Renewable Energy
We have partnered with renewable energy suppliers to ensure that our web hosting, cooling and network is powered by 100% renewable energy.
- World class efficiency
Our data centre excels in efficiency: with a PUE (power usage effectiveness) of 1.12. PUE describes how efficiently a data centre uses energy (the lower the better). Most hosts have a PUE of 1.2 or higher.
- The latest technologies
As more efficient technology becomes available, we will replace our hardware. However, never at a cost to your sites’ performance. We will continue to provide the fastest hosting available, without harming the planet.
- A green hosting platform
Firstly, we have autoscaling technology. This means if a website becomes busy, it can be allocated multiple servers, unlike other companies, your website isn’t bound to a single server.
Secondly, a key to our eco-friendly offering is that this also works in reverse. Therefore, if a website is no longer busy, it will take up fewer resources: processors, RAM and their associated cooling tech. This is because less resource means less electricity used, and ultimately, a reduction in harmful emissions.
