The internet costs a lot to power; over 400 terawatt-hours a year. While an individual website’s footprint is small, it all adds up. 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. Sites hosted on our servers will pass the Green Web Foundation's sustainability checks.
Our servers use renewable energy suppliers and cloud partners to ensure that our web hosting, cooling and network is powered by 100% renewable energy.
The data centres we use excel 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. Ours do better, with a PUE of 1.12. It’s an important figure to note when looking for green hosting.
As more efficient technology becomes available, the hardware is replaced – but never at a cost to your sites’ performance. We are able to provide the fastest hosting available, without harming the planet.
