Green Tech – Solving a Host of Issues
In our ever-evolving digital landscape, green tech has become crucial. With millions of websites online, the digital age offers unprecedented convenience – from online shopping and live auctions to collaborative work and video tutorials – all accessible from the comfort of our homes.
However, this digital convenience comes with a significant environmental cost: an enormous increase in energy consumption.
Our digital-led lifestyles are driving a surge in energy usage, leading to increased carbon emissions and environmental degradation. As a high-speed web hosting provider, we recognise the urgency to address how our energy is sourced and utilised. This is why we are committed to providing green tech hosting solutions that prioritise the environment.
In our pursuit of sustainability, we have adopted 100% renewable energy sources for our web hosting services since January 2022. By leveraging wind and hydro power, we provide green hosting solutions that significantly reduce the carbon footprint of online activities. This transition not only aligns with our corporate responsibility but also sets a precedent for sustainable practices within the industry.
Nick Bascombe-Fox, our CTO, says;
“Since we started the company in 2008, we have always worked towards improving our ways of hosting for our clients, and now we need to do the same for the environment.
Powering our clients’ websites with 100% renewable energy allows us to implement positive changes within our industry and offer our clients a way to move towards a more sustainable way of working.”
Esmond Hastings, our CEO adds,
“Our sustainability strategy involves everyone in the HA ecosystem – from suppliers to customers – urging them to join us on this journey and become active agents of environmental change.”
Traditional data centres consume vast amounts of energy, often derived from fossil fuels. By switching to renewable sources, such as wind and hydro power, we cut down on greenhouse gas emissions, mitigating the impact on global warming.
As the internet grows, so does the energy demand. Green web hosting ensures that this growth does not compromise environmental integrity, supporting a sustainable digital future.
By adopting renewable energy, businesses can showcase their commitment to environmental stewardship, appealing to eco-conscious consumers and stakeholders.
