What Is Green Web Hosting?

[sonia sharma]

Green hosting also known as eco-friendly hosting is Internet hosting that involves the use of green technologies to reduce environmental impact.
And Green web hosts are those web hosting providers that have a plan to save energy as much as possible and even to generate energy from renewable sources. The huge amount of energy used by data centers to keep your website up is usually produced from carbon emitting generators.
Green hosting utilizes green marketing which focuses on green consumers and their concern about the environment.
Hosting sites that contain a Green-E certification labels are organizations that voluntarily adhere to strict environmental guidelines. A green organization doesn't necessarily have to have access to green power from wind, water, or solar energy, they can also purchase green certificates to offset the use and cost of conventional energy.

Web hosting providers consume a great amount of energy power servers and data centre for providing 24/7 services. Other related facilities such as cooling controls and enhanced security set up also require a lot of electricity.

Green web hosts or ‘eco-friendly’ web hosts are those web hosting providers that have a plan to save energy as much as possible and even to generate energy from renewable sources. The huge amount of energy used by data centers to keep your website up is usually produced from carbon emitting generators. (A carbon emitting generator is one that burns non-renewable fuels to generate electricity and gives out too much of carbon and other pollutants.)

As the name implies, green web hosting is a web hosting service that is powered by environmentally beneficial resources such as renewable energy. Natural resources are used to create renewable energy. It's're-usable' by definition. The most frequent natural resources are hydroelectricity and wind power.
