Our Green Hosting service is powered entirely by renewable energy purchased directly from wind, solar and hydro sources.
The London-based data centre which houses our Green Hosting servers, routers and cooling systems achieves a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.05, making it one of the most energy efficient data centres in the world. Find out more about this remarkable renewable energy powered data centre.
By becoming a Green Hosting client you are doing more than switching to renewable energy. You are facilitating donations of time and money to charities, supporting ethical business, sending a powerful message that website owners do not want fossil fuels and supporting the transition towards a greener internet. See our Impact section for a deeper look into how we work.
Take a look at our Clients page and you’ll see that if you choose to use Green Hosting you’ll be in good company. Check out our Clients' Testimonials too.
Here at Green Hosting we don’t oversell our hosting space and we don’t treat our customers as faceless accounts. We sign up every single plan personally and we know each customer and website we host.
When you request support it will be our UK based team which responds, not a third party call centre or a chat bot. So whilst our hosting technicians are constantly working to ensure the servers are functioning as they should be, we’re here to answer queries and provide support for your individual requirements.
We are web designers too, working in the industry, so we can provide real website support. That’s not something every hosting provider can do.
Since we founded our parent website design business, Make Hay, in 2004 our aims have been to do meaningful work and make a positive impact.
This is still true today and we’re always looking for ways to be greener and make more ethical choices.
Green Hosting came about through a desire to run our own web design business website on servers powered by renewable energy rather than fossil fuels. Pretty soon our clients wanted the same and so we decided to provide Green Hosting as a service of its own.
Set up in 2006 our original 100% wind powered hosting service was based in the U.S. but we always continued to search for an equally green and reliable U.K. provider. We took lots of time and care to get it right and in 2013 found the ideal provider for us. Since then we have been delighted to offer our service right here in the UK to both our web design clients and customers who manage their own websites. Currently we are delighted to be able to offer website hosting powered by wind, solar and hydro sources and the highest standards in data center energy efficiency.
