Did you know that the average
web server produces the same emissions as a 15 mpg SUV?
Green hosting is an important step in dealing with climate
change. Here are some reasons why our green hosting plans stand
out.
We use
renewable energy to both power and cool our servers.
While some other green hosts only offset the electricity used
to power their servers. That represents a big difference,
because servers
generate
a lot of heat. What that means is that we are
investing in about twice as much renewable energy, on a per
server basis, as
those green hosts
only using renewable energy to power their
servers.
Renewable
Energy Credits We have invested in
Green -e certified
Renewable Energy Credits (RECs). That means that all of our
RECs are verified, tracked and
monitored. Sure,
there are cheaper carbon credits out there,
but we wanted to go green the right way.
Our Servers are 130%
Wind Powered
We're not just neutralizing our environmental impact,
we're reversing it!
Just how
big a dent in climate change does
that make? It's equivalent to:
.
Removing 444
cars from the road for a year,
or
Powering 321 homes
w/clean energy for a year,
or
Saving 5,654
barrels of oil,
or
Protecting 551
acres of forest for a year
What can I do to minimize my
impact?
