What is Green Hosting?

All websites are deployed on servers and connected to the internet through ‘points of presence’. These servers, the network infrastructure and all connections need electricity to power them and are usually based in ‘datacenters’.

These datacenters use HUGE amounts of energy not only to power all the equipment but to keep the building cool and secure.

All of our hosting is provided by ecologicalhosting.com who deploy enterprise grade servers and network infrastructure in a 100% solar powered datacentre.

The price of a solar powered hosting account reflect the true cost of storing and serving data. As such they aren’t the cheapest you will find but they have by far the lowest carbon footprint, and excellent uptime and customer service. Additionally you won’t see ‘unlimited web space’ as this a) is environmentally unsustainable and b) in reality unsustainable from a business point of view too!

Further technical details about the datacenter setup, infrastructure and security are available on the ecologicalhosting.com website.

Unlike some ‘green’ hosting providers we do not claim to be green through carbon offsetting – we are naturally green!
