What is Green Hosting?
Green hosting, also known as eco-friendly hosting, is a type of web hosting service that prioritizes environmental sustainability by using renewable energy sources and implementing energy-efficient practices to power and operate servers.
This means that the servers supporting websites are powered by clean energy sources like wind, solar, or hydroelectric power, and the hosting provider takes measures to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. It’s like choosing to drive an electric car instead of a gasoline-powered one to reduce your carbon footprint.
For example, a company might opt for green hosting to align their online presence with their commitment to environmental responsibility, knowing that their website is hosted in a way that minimizes its impact on the environment.
