100% Renewable Energy Hosting

Our commitment to sustainability runs so much further than just our business practices, in fact we try to ensure that our business is reducing its carbon footprint in every aspect, including our website.

Why do we have green hosting?

The internet has been around for a long time now (since way back in 1983) and over the last almost half a century has become a centralised hub for pretty much everything that we all do on a daily basis, whether that’s keeping up with the latest news or ordering a new charger for your phone. With the growth that the internet has seen over that timeframe, and the ever-increasing number of people who need to use it, the internet uses a lot of power – over 400 terawatt-hours per year (the average home uses around 11,000 kilowatt-hours per year as a comparison).

While the footprint for any individual website is small, when you think about how many websites are already out there on the internet then it becomes clear how it all adds up. The internet is responsible for around 3.7% of global greenhouse gas emissions per year, which shockingly is comparable to the amount that is produced by the global airline industry.

This is why we chose a green hosting provider for our website, ensuring that we’re doing everything we can in the fight against global warming.
