Green Web Hosting

Many people are surprised when we tell them that the Internet is not green and that by no means is the web hosting industry eco-friendly. In fact studies show that by 2012 the web hosting industry used as much energy to power their servers as the equivalent of 14 major power plants. Studies have shown that by the year 2020 that the web hosting industry will be as big of a polluter as the airline industry.
In addition to changing the web hosting industry's environmental impact we have an even greater strategy which we believe will help to spread a greater eco-friendly consciousness.
It is important that this industry becomes green and Able Hosting is the world's most eco-friendly web hosting company. We would like for you to choose a certified green, eco-friendly web hosting company to host your web site. We hope that you will choose to go green with your web site, please allow us to tell you why we feel we are the best option.



How are we green.


Able Hosting pulls energy from the grid just like every web hosting company. We must pull energy from the grid in order to make sure that we have a constant power flow for our servers and to make sure the servers would not be interrupted by a lack of power. Unfortunately much of the power that flows through our grid today was produced by polluting technologies like fossil fuels.
In order to compensate for the polluting power we pull from the grid, we purchase wind energy credits for the energy we consume from the grid. In fact we replace, with wind power, 3 times the amount of energy used by our servers, so if we pull 1X of power from the grid we purchase enough wind energy credits to put back into the grid 3X of power having been produced by wind power.



Conclusion - Our Green Eco-Friendly Hosting


Able Hosting's commitment to going green extends beyond our own company and the customers we serve. We looked at the direction of the web hosting industry and we saw that unless we started to turn the tide sooner rather than later that our industry was headed for an environmental calamity. In addition we saw secondary benefits to promoting green energy hosting through the web hosting community and how individual web sites could help to promote a more eco friendly consciousness through the web.
We sincerely hope that you will choose a certified green web hosting provider, even if you do not choose to host your site with Able Hosting.
