Energy use and carbon dioxide
- 20% of the carbon dioxide produced in the United States is generated by the nation's transportation segment.
- 40% of the carbon dioxide produced in the United States is generated by the electricity utilized.
- Data center energy consumption has doubled Since 2000.
- Traditional web hosting providers require a great deal of energy to power web servers and other network equipment.
- Environmental and cooling controls, fire-suppression systems, electronic security mechanisms and Internet connections all require the use of energy.
Renewable Energy Credits
Now, a lot of web hosts claim to offer “green” tech, but the fact is, these “so-called” green hosts simply purchase Renewable Energy Credits (REC) while employing the same 20-year-old technology that gramps used back in the day. At Green Host It, we take web hosting into a new era of truly green technology.
Instead of just purchasing RECs and then telling ourselves that we have done enough, we do more.
- Our green data center uses less energy — it is twice as efficient than traditional data centers.
- We offset the energy that we use by investing in Texas wind power through Renewable Energy Credits (RECs).
