With almost the whole world taking various practical measures to reduce the environmental impact, the hosting industry can't lag behind, especially considering the fact that the data centers are one of the largest consumers of electricity. Due to obvious reasons, they need a continuous and massive power supply, and all that requires loads of electricity with an equally massive effect on the environment.
Here are some of the notable Green Hosting Providers actively engaged in reducing carbon emissions and supporting the environment conservation:
HostGator
Hostgator not only uses green methods to power its data centers but also reversing its past environmental impact by purchasing REC (renewable energy credits) equaling 130% of the electricity spent during multiple server processes. Texas Wind Energy benefits heavily with these renewable energy credits. Hostgator, as the leading name in the field, has set an example for the other players of the industry too.
Green Geeks
As the name suggests, Green Geeks is focused on environmental friendly methods way ahead of business gimmicks. This California based company used wind power that is not only sufficient to run its own data centers but can produce a massive amount of surplus energy. The company's wind power offers 300% more energy than is consumed by the servers.
Host Papa
Host papa, a 2 decades old company, has also joined the league by taking the decision to use green energy to meet its energy needs. The data center, office equipment’s and even laptops, all are powered by wind and solar powered energy. The company is fast inching towards becoming a major contributor of environment conservation and would soon claim the position, considering its initiatives.
WebHosting Hubs
As a step towards building energy efficient data centers the company uses outside air cooling technology that saves 70% of energy as compared to conventional cooling system using nonrenewable sources. It also results in a massive reduction in carbon outputs: 2000 tons annually, to be precise. The company extends its commitment by partnering with Trees for future, a leading environmental organization working for sustainable agroforestry.
Ethical Hosting
Ethical Hosting is another provider that is contributing considerably to reduce the carbon emissions. The company is entirely powered by renewable energy through bullfrog power and climate care. BullFrog is an Ontario based clean energy supplier from which the company purchases 8000 kilowatt energy per year resulting in the reduction of 3918 kg of CO2, Nitric Oxide and Sulphur Dioxide emissions.
Another 40000 Kg of Co2 energy offsets are purchased from climate care to offset energy used by server and other energy consuming equipments/ The company's commitment to the environment further extends to active participation in various initiative like providing safe ware in Kenya and providing improved, ecofriendly cooking stove in Ghana. Due to its environmental concerns and initiative, the company has got several accolades and reputed awards.
