class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Green_web_hosting\"><\/span><strong>What is Green web hosting?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Green web hosting is a carbon-positive or carbon-neutral hosting solution. It utilizes renewable energy sources like sun, water, and wind to power all the hosting equipment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main aim of a green host is to reduce the negative environmental impact of its hosting activities. Generally, an equivalent amount of energy is produced from natural sources and returned to the grid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some cases, the hosting provider generates wind, solar, or hydroelectric power in-house. While in other cases, the host might choose to outsource it and get it from a green energy supplier. In such a case, the host purchases Green Tags from the certified suppliers against which a specific amount of energy is added to the grid by the energy supplier on behalf of the host.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This brings us to different types of certifications related to Green web hosting. Read on to find out more about these certifications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Green_Web_Hosting_Certification_Types\"><\/span><strong>Green Web Hosting Certification Types<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though there are many different green certifications, we\u2019ll talk about the two major ones used in the hosting industry here:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Renewable_Energy_Certificate_REC\"><\/span><strong>Renewable Energy Certificate (REC)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Renewable Energy Certificates are created by organizations like Direct Energy and Grexel that specialize in producing renewable energy. A web hosting provider purchases these certificates to financially support the generation of green power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every REC mentions the amount of renewable energy that will be produced against it. So a green host can purchase as many certificates as are sufficient to produce equivalent or higher amounts of energy consumed during its hosting operations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a sample REC mentioning the name of the company, renewable energy producer, energy credits purchased, and the amounts of emissions saved by it:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11239 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Renewable-Energy-Certificate-.jpg\" alt=\"Renewable Energy Certificate\" width=\"862\" height=\"642\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Renewable-Energy-Certificate-.jpg 862w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Renewable-Energy-Certificate--300x223.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Renewable-Energy-Certificate--1024x763.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Renewable-Energy-Certificate--767x571.jpg 767w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Renewable-Energy-Certificate--1536x1144.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Renewable-Energy-Certificate--2048x1525.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Renewable-Energy-Certificate--201x150.jpg 201w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Renewable-Energy-Certificate--100x74.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Renewable-Energy-Certificate--470x350.jpg 470w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Renewable-Energy-Certificate--788x586.jpg 788w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 862px) 100vw, 862px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Voluntary_Emission_Reduction_VER\"><\/span><strong>Voluntary Emission Reduction (VER)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Voluntary Emission Reduction is a carbon offset certificate issued by organizations like Endesa and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/carbonfund.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carbon Fund<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that specializes in counterbalancing the carbon generated from different activities.

A REC ensures the production of green energy while a VER certifies that a certain amount of carbon is reduced from the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Green_web_hosting\"><\/span><strong>Benefits of Green web hosting<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After looking at the meaning and different certifications associated with Green hosting, let\u2019s discuss the benefits it has to offer:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Minimizing_negative_impact_on_the_environment\"><\/span><strong>Minimizing negative impact on the environment<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The biggest benefit of Green web hosting lies in its environmental friendliness. This hosting aims to minimize the negative impact of hosting activities on the environment. So, in a way, green hosting is superior to traditional web hosting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lower_web_hosting_costs\"><\/span><strong>Lower web hosting costs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the long run, renewable sources of energy are much more cost-effective than traditional energy sources. It is because of the renewable nature and abundant availability of these natural power sources.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So when the web hosting providers use green energy, they benefit from this cost-effectiveness. In turn, they pass on these lower operational costs to their customers by offering cheaper hosting plans. You can, therefore, take advantage of these lower web hosting costs while choosing your provider.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a comparison of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/bluehost-coupon-code.html\">lowest shared hosting plans from Bluehost<\/a> and GreenGeeks with their main features. You will see a considerable difference in the storage space offered by these hosts when the plan price remains the same for both these providers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, with the use of green energy, GreenGeeks can offer more server resources at competitive prices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Builds_a_positive_brand_image\"><\/span><strong>Builds a positive brand image<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today people are more aware of the environmental impact of different business activities and prefer to choose the one that cares for our Mother Earth. So you will build a positive brand image by choosing a Green host for your business website.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eventually, green hosting credentials will attract a larger number of people to your website because of an improved business reputation. Your existing customers will also be more likely to recommend you after seeing your efforts in reducing your carbon footprint.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some sample green badges offered by Kualo, a green host:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11242 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/green-badges-offered-by-Kualo-1.jpg\" alt=\"green badges offered by Kualo\" width=\"415\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/green-badges-offered-by-Kualo-1.jpg 415w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/green-badges-offered-by-Kualo-1-300x280.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/green-badges-offered-by-Kualo-1-1024x955.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/green-badges-offered-by-Kualo-1-768x716.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/green-badges-offered-by-Kualo-1-1536x1432.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/green-badges-offered-by-Kualo-1-2048x1910.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/green-badges-offered-by-Kualo-1-161x150.jpg 161w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/green-badges-offered-by-Kualo-1-100x93.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/green-badges-offered-by-Kualo-1-375x350.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/green-badges-offered-by-Kualo-1-788x734.jpg 788w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 415px) 100vw, 415px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Receiving_incentives_and_rebates\"><\/span><strong>Receiving incentives and rebates<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Environmental bodies and NGOs in different regions offer incentives and rebates for going green. Some of them are also ready to share your clean energy costs if you are a startup or the hosting costs are too high. So look for such environmental organizations in your area and get incentives by showing them your green efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_should_you_use_Green_web_hosting\"><\/span><strong>Why should you use Green web hosting?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you choose traditional web hosting, you automatically become a contributor to large amounts of pollution generated by your hosting provider. But using Green web hosting will help you contribute positively to the environment indirectly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will also be encouraging your host to continue caring for Mother Nature by minimizing its carbon footprint. Additionally, you will receive the above-listed benefits for your brand or business by using Green web hosting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_choose_a_Green_web_host\"><\/span><strong>How to choose a Green web host?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When choosing a Green web host for your website, look for all the aspects that you would in a traditional host. You must consider the variety of hosting services offered, the quality of performance delivered, and the availability of good customer support. Additionally, check out the following aspects when selecting a Green host:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Availability_of_Green_energy_certification\"><\/span><strong>Availability of Green energy certification<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first thing to look for in a green host is green energy certification since it is tangible proof of the hosting provider\u2019s commitment to a cleaner environment. A green certificate will either guarantee the generation of green energy on behalf of the hosting provider or ensure to offset the carbon generated by the host during its normal business operations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In any case, you can determine the contribution of your hosting provider towards a greener environment through Green energy certification.

See whether the host is adopting more and more greener ways in its daily life like using sustainable transportation means.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, here are the extra green efforts by Eco Web Hosting:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11234 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/extra-green-efforts-by-Eco-Web-Hosting.jpg\" alt=\"extra green efforts by Eco Web Hosting\" width=\"879\" height=\"406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/extra-green-efforts-by-Eco-Web-Hosting.jpg 879w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/extra-green-efforts-by-Eco-Web-Hosting-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/extra-green-efforts-by-Eco-Web-Hosting-1024x473.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/extra-green-efforts-by-Eco-Web-Hosting-766x354.jpg 766w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/extra-green-efforts-by-Eco-Web-Hosting-1536x709.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/extra-green-efforts-by-Eco-Web-Hosting-2048x946.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/extra-green-efforts-by-Eco-Web-Hosting-325x150.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/extra-green-efforts-by-Eco-Web-Hosting-100x46.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/extra-green-efforts-by-Eco-Web-Hosting-758x350.jpg 758w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/extra-green-efforts-by-Eco-Web-Hosting-788x363.jpg 788w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 879px) 100vw, 879px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eco web hosting is just one of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/webhostingadvices.com\/green-hosting-uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">many green hosts<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that are located in the UK.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Environment-friendly_hardware_components\"><\/span><strong>Environment-friendly hardware components<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another thing to look for in a hosting provider is the hardware it uses. With the spreading of awareness about the environmental impact of the hosting industry, more energy-efficient components are being produced for their utilization.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, a Solid State Drive (SSD) consumes much less energy than a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hard_disk_drive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hard Disk Drive<\/a> (HDD). Similarly, Adjustable Speed Drives (ASDs) and DC voltage regulators help in saving a lot of power. So a green host will prefer using such energy-efficient hardware items since they are more environmentally friendly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, Kualo uses energy-efficient hardware for positive environmental contribution:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11238 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/energy-efficient-hardware--237x300.jpg\" alt=\"energy-efficient hardware\" width=\"237\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/energy-efficient-hardware--237x300.jpg 237w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/energy-efficient-hardware--808x1024.jpg 808w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/energy-efficient-hardware--768x973.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/energy-efficient-hardware--1212x1536.jpg 1212w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/energy-efficient-hardware--1616x2048.jpg 1616w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/energy-efficient-hardware--118x150.jpg 118w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/energy-efficient-hardware--100x127.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/energy-efficient-hardware--276x350.jpg 276w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/energy-efficient-hardware--788x998.jpg 788w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/energy-efficient-hardware-.jpg 445w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 237px) 100vw, 237px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Energy-conserving_software_and_techniques\"><\/span><strong>Energy-conserving software and techniques<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Along with the environment-friendly hardware, you must also check out the software used by your preferred Green host.

Some of these energy-conserving techniques to look for when choosing a Green host include:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Data compression:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It stores all the data in compressed form to save space and minimize the transmission of traffic.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Storage tiering:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It arranges the data into different storage drives for optimum space utilization. All the content that isn\u2019t accessed frequently is stored on low-performing drives while frequently-accessed data is shifted to high-performing storage devices.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Data deduplication:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It deletes all those copies of files that aren\u2019t needed anymore to significantly clear up the space.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Active_participation_in_Green_campaigns\"><\/span><strong>Active participation in Green campaigns<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to choose the most dedicated Green host that goes the extra mile to conserve our environment, look for a host actively supporting the climate change campaigns. Such initiatives are undertaken by specialized organizations like <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bonneville Environmental Foundation<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and Carbonfund.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A green host who is seriously concerned about our Mother Earth contributes towards the green projects carried out by such organizations. Consider looking for the extra efforts taken by the green host when preferring it over another one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, Eco Web Hosting actively contributes to different eco-friendly projects around the globe:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11237 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Eco-Web-Hosting-actively-contributes-to-different-eco-friendly-projects-around-the-globe-1.jpg\" alt=\"Eco Web Hosting actively contributes to different eco-friendly projects around the globe\" width=\"977\" height=\"329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Eco-Web-Hosting-actively-contributes-to-different-eco-friendly-projects-around-the-globe-1.jpg 977w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Eco-Web-Hosting-actively-contributes-to-different-eco-friendly-projects-around-the-globe-1-300x101.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Eco-Web-Hosting-actively-contributes-to-different-eco-friendly-projects-around-the-globe-1-1024x345.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Eco-Web-Hosting-actively-contributes-to-different-eco-friendly-projects-around-the-globe-1-766x258.jpg 766w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Eco-Web-Hosting-actively-contributes-to-different-eco-friendly-projects-around-the-globe-1-1536x517.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Eco-Web-Hosting-actively-contributes-to-different-eco-friendly-projects-around-the-globe-1-2048x690.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Eco-Web-Hosting-actively-contributes-to-different-eco-friendly-projects-around-the-globe-1-445x150.jpg 445w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Eco-Web-Hosting-actively-contributes-to-different-eco-friendly-projects-around-the-globe-1-100x34.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Eco-Web-Hosting-actively-contributes-to-different-eco-friendly-projects-around-the-globe-1-1039x350.jpg 1039w, https:\/\/www.digital-web-services.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Eco-Web-Hosting-actively-contributes-to-different-eco-friendly-projects-around-the-globe-1-788x265.jpg 788w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 977px) 100vw, 977px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Green web hosting is the future of the hosting industry since non-renewable energy sources will soon exhaust and won\u2019t be sufficient to power traditional web hosting.
