GREEN
WEB SERVER
- The energy used to power this websites
server, is 100% 'Green' renewable energy
- This website is hosted on a 'Green'
energy efficient server
- By going green this website has
contributed to the Just Host 'Green' tree planting project
- My web hosting company employ 'Green'
ethics throughout their data centres and offices.
How are
we 'Green'?
Well, we don't have wind turbines or wave
power generators in our offices but...
We have decided to make our website go
green by choosing to have our website hosted on green servers by
a company with green values. 100% green renewable energy is used
to power parts of the Just Host data centre, web servers, and
office space. The server this site is hosted on is a 'Green'
energy efficient server, which produces 20% less CO2 than the
average server. Being Just Host 'Green' eCertified means this
website has contributed to Just Hosts tree planting project,
which aims to neutralize our (and your) affects on the
environment. Just Host employ 'Green' ethics throughout their
workplace and data centres. Just Host has invested in and
started promoting a green way of living to all staff by
introducing advanced recycling techniques. As well as the
standard paper and cardboard recycling, Just Host have gone a
step further so everything from the batteries we use to power
our wireless mice to the printer ink cartridges get recycled.
Vehicle sharing has been introduced by Just Host to cut carbon
emissions, their UK office employees were incentivized to
partner up and in some cases group together to lift share to
work.
Why Go
Green?
Very few people realize the true impact
the web hosting industry has on the environment, the average
server produces the same emissions as a 15 mpg SUV let alone the
data centre where the server is located which consumes on
average as much electricity as 30,000 households.
Let's put it another way... the average
website is hosted on a server which on average produces around
12½ Tonnes of CO2 each year, that is a huge amount of CO2!
Each year your PC produces half a tonne,
your car produces 5 TONNES, AND your home produces 6½ TONNES
– THIS MEANS on average EACH PERSON IS responsible for 12
tonnes of the CO2 that is produced each year! THAT is a huge
amount of CO2 AND SHOWS WHY we are so insistent in our beliefs
IN GREEN HOSTING.
