Green Website Hosting

We work with a number of partners to host our websites on 100% green-powered carbon-neutral hosting infrastructure, and encourage everyone to do the same.

We believe hosting is a huge contributor to the global carbon emissions and that all companies, organisations and individuals should consider the planet in their decisions for where to host websites, apps and files in the cloud.

Our Definition of Green Hosting

For us green hosting is:

• Powered by sustainable sources ideally through direct green energy generation via solar, wind, hydro or biomass contributed into the grid, but at least through Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin certificates, called REGOs
• Hosting with companies that run data centres that are either carbon net zero through carbon-offsetting or at the very least making their way towards net zero carbon emissions.
• Data centres which are constantly being upgraded to make them more energy efficient in terms of usage

Our partners

We currently work with the following partners who meet our definition of green hosting:

• Eco Hosting* - Data centres powered by ecotricity - the greenest energy company in Britain producing their own vegan electricity and gas via solar, wind & hydro and their own gasmills
• Google Cloud - Use renewable energy purchase agreements, highly energy efficient data centres, are already carbon neutral and aiming to be carbon free by 2030
• Octopus Energy - Not a hosting company but we use them for powering our office, they do both direct energy generation and use REGOs

The Green Web Foundation

If you’re looking for alternative green hosting solutions please take a look at The Green Web Foundation directory or drop us a line for FREE advice.

Be sure to avoid companies which try to “greenwash” - who mislead others about their real green credentials. Always ask questions about whether the data centre is powered by a green supplier or not and what their commitment is towards zero carbon (both of their own company and offices and the data centre they use or own).
