Why Green Hosting
The internet consumes a significant amount of energy: over 400 terawatt-hours per year. While an individual website’s footprint may be small, it all adds up: the internet is responsible for approximately 3.7% of global greenhouse gas emissions. That’s similar to the amount produced by the worldwide airline industry.
With our green hosting, you can be assured that your websites are stored on servers that minimise their contribution to climate change. Sites hosted on Aleph Host will pass the Green Web Foundation‘s sustainability checks.
100% renewable energy
We’ve partnered with renewable energy suppliers and cloud partners to ensure that our web hosting, cooling and network are powered by 100% renewable energy.
World-class efficiency
Our own data centres excel in efficiency: with a PUE (power usage effectiveness) of 1.2. PUE describes how efficiently a data centre uses energy (the lower the better). It’s an important figure to note when looking for green hosting.
The latest technologies
As more efficient technology becomes available, we replace our hardware – but never at a cost to your sites’ performance. We provide the fastest hosting available, without harming the planet.
A green hosting platform
Our team has developed a unique green web hosting platform, which is not available anywhere else.
Central to this is our autoscaling technology. This ensures that when a website becomes busy, it can be allocated the resources of our entire hosting platform: multiple servers. Unlike other companies, your website isn’t bound to a single server.
Key to our eco-friendly offering is that this also works in reverse. If a website is no longer busy, it will require fewer resources, including processors, RAM, and their associated cooling technology. Less resource mean less electricity used, and ultimately, a reduction in harmful emissions.
