Green Hosting Cloud

It's green server space! We purchase wind power and carbon offsets in order to offset the environmental impact caused by the electricity used on your hosting space. When you purchase any hosting plan, a portion goes back to the environment.

There is so much wrong with the environment that it might sound like a problem with no solution. Too many companies are completely ignoring what is wrong with the world and are using up as much power as they desire. Since there are very few regulations on this, there is nothing that can be done about this waste. In addition, emissions and other pollutants are furthering global warming and things are getting to the point where future generations will likely not have the same type of planet that we enjoy today. The web hosting industry is a particularly bad offender, since they must operate 24 hours a day and seven days a week in order to keep website operators happy. Because of this, it is very important that website owners select a green hosting company, as their websites are definitely part of this very serious problem.

Over time, a single server will do as much damage to the Earth as an SUV. Countless people are now switching away from SUVs, so it would make sense if people began switching away from traditional servers. In 2005 alone, web hosting companies used the same amount of energy as 14 1,000 megawatt power plants would put out. The technology today is more advanced than it was in 2005 and there are more websites out there as well, so these numbers have probably been inflated even further since then. To put this in perspective, each megawatt of power puts out 1,970 pounds of carbon dioxide per hour, which is an incredible amount of pollution to put into the atmosphere.

Since these website hosting companies are always operating, this carbon dioxide is being emitted on a constant basis and it doing irreparable damage to the environment. Many people do not realize how much carbon dioxide these electrical components create, but the power has to come from somewhere and in our society, it comes from power plants that emit these fumes. The web hosting industry is a very large contributor to this problem but, luckily, there are ways that you can reduce your carbon footprint and help out the environment significantly in the process.

If you run a website, you can be certain that your website is part of the problem unless you get getting your web hosting through a green company like GreenHostingCloud. This is because GreenHostingCloud is completely committed to helping out the environment by purchasing carbon offsets over the course of the year. These offsets are extremely important because the money reduces the amount of emissions being released into the environment, creates new jobs within the United States, and reduces the country's dependence of foreign fuel sources. GreenHostingCloud is definitely a company that is doing its part to help the environment and you can do your part by using the company as your web host. There are a number of things that you can do in support of the environment, but switching over to a green web hosting company like GreenHostingCloud is one of the easiest decisions you will ever have to make.
