Why You Need To Move To Green Hosting In 2022

If you read our blog regularly you'll know that we wrote our manifesto at the end of 2021 about our goals  to be champions of equality, social justice, diversity and inclusion and combatting the climate emergency. 

We were over the moon to hear that the web hosting provder we use  has moved to become a green hosting company and that all of their web hosting now runs on 100% renewable power.

They made the change because just like us they've realised that the internet uses a great deal of unseen power.

 It's estimated that data centres alone are responsible for up to 3% of global energy use.

That's a whole lot of energy.

It's promising to see that more companies are moving towards using the power of the wind, sea and sun. 

They are quoted as saying;

"Our unique autoscaling hosting platform also has its part to play in energy efficiency.

Should a website get busy, it can be given the resources of many servers instead of just one, instantly. Equally, if a site isn’t busy, it won’t keep providing those resources unnecessarily.

Less resource means less energy used overall. The instant scalability present in our platform means that more renewable power can be used elsewhere when not needed. This isn’t the case for other companies’ version of ‘autoscaling’."

When you choose us as your web design company of choice we will  not only provide you with green hosting but we also manage your hosting environement. There's a lot goes on behind the scenes of web hosting management done proper but that's for a post for another day.
