Carbon Neutral Hosting
As more businesses look for ways to reduce their carbon footprint, hosting is being highlighted as an area for change. At HDS we were stunned when we found out how much of an impact digital hosting services have on the environment, which is why we have now partnered with 20i – a hosting service powered by 100% renewable energy. 20i uses only wind and solar to provide energy to their data centres, making them a carbon-neutral option for hosting all of our websites. So every time a business hosts their website with us, it’s a step towards a more sustainable future.
Does My Hosting Really Impact The Environment?
Absolutely! Though it’s not something we think about a lot of the time. After all, if it’s digital, it’s not a physical thing, so how can it have a carbon footprint? But the thing to remember is, your website has to physically live on a server, and that server had to be built, and requires power to run 24/7. Which means it needs to be housed in a data centre full of other servers just like it – which is where the environmental impact comes in.
Data centres consume an enormous amount of energy on a daily basis. A typical data centre will be home to around 50,000 servers, and to keep it all running the data centre uses as much electricity as a small town of 50,000 people. Which translates into a significant amount of carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels to generate electricity, and to power their cooling systems, since data centres produce a lot of heat. By 2030, it’s estimated that data centres will consume 13% of all global electricity, and produce 3.2% of global greenhouse gas emissions. So choosing a place to host your website that is dedicated to minimising that impact can make a huge difference.
