Sustainable hosting which won’t cost the Earth… literally!

We’re determined to help improve the environmental impact the tech industry has on the climate.

That’s why we only source and provide sustainable hosting, powered by 100% renewable energy.

What’s the difference between carbon offsetting and directly sourcing 100% renewable energy for your web hosting?

You may find some hosting companies claim to be sustainable because they’ve invested in environmental projects to offset and compensate for their carbon emissions.

Carbon offsetting does not effectively reduce climate change. It simply attempts to repair the constant damage being caused. The power to run your server is still coming from a CO2 emissions source thereby having a negative impact on the environment.

When it comes to the actual hosting, you need to ensure the power used is being sourced directly from a certified 100% renewable energy data centre, to prevent damage caused to the environment.

Our sustainable hosting reduces the impact of 83.9% of a servers life-cycle. An amazing improvement.

In addition to this, we’ve chosen to use Dell PowerEdge sustainable servers. These servers are more energy efficient and made from 35% recycled materials. When they reach end of life, we send them to be recycled again!

Making our hosting reliable, fast, secure, tailored AND sustainable. It really is a win win!

100% renewable energy powered by wind and hydro assets

Our data centres, located in Reading and Manchester, are committed to environmental sustainability.

We hold an official SSE Green Electricity Certificate to confirm our hosting is powered by 100% renewable energy, generated by wind and hydro assets using Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGOs).

Our Sustainable Ethos explains what we are doing to help minimise the impact on the environment.

We’ve considered the entire life-cycle of our servers. The pie chart shows the estimated impact of each server*.

Switching to 100% renewable energy hosting will target and reduce the impact of 83.9% of a servers life cycle. An amazing improvement!

Some elements of the server’s life cycle is out of our control, such as distribution. However, where we can control it, we do our best to make conscious sustainable choices for our clients and the environment.

Which is why we have chosen to use servers which are made from up to 35% recycled materials. When they reach end-of-life, we securely wipe the data before sending them to be recycled again – a full circular economy approach.
