At Fresh Digital, we host all our websites using a platform called 20i, which is a UK-based green company. They offer a range of hosting services including shared hosting, reseller hosting, cloud hosting, and dedicated servers. They have earned recognition for their commitment to high performance, innovative technologies, and exceptional customer support.
Green website hosting with 20i
20i has created a unique hosting platform unavailable anywhere else. Central to their approach is their autoscaling technology, which guarantees that when a website experiences a surge in traffic and becomes busy, it can utilize the resources of the entire hosting platform. They employ multiple servers, distinguishing themselves from other companies that confine your website to a single server.
✅ Green offices
20i headquarters are in Ransom Wood in Nottinghamshire, UK. Their offices are powered by 2,088 solar panels which offset thousands of tonnes of carbon each year!
✅ Green thinking
Employees not only have the option but are actively encouraged to work from home when feasible and to carpool whenever possible. They also offer a cycle-to-work scheme to once again encourage employees to be environmentally aware.
✅ Green working
They operate an eco-friendly office by eliminating paper usage, recycling all waste, and employing automatic LED lighting for all their lights. This approach not only benefits the environment but also prevents the wastage of electricity due to lights being left on.
Additionally, they select everything from the snacks they consume to their cleaning products based on their eco-friendly attributes.
Why you need green hosting!
The internet costs a lot to power, usually over 400 terawatt-hours a year. While an individual such as ourselves may only have a small footprint, it all adds up. The internet is responsible for around 3.7% of global greenhouse gas emissions. In context, that’s similar to the global airline industry.
By choosing our green hosting, you can rest assured that your websites are hosted on servers that do not contribute to climate change. 20i ensures that all websites will pass the Green Web Foundation sustainability checks.
They formed partnerships with renewable energy suppliers and cloud providers to guarantee that renewable energy powers 100% of their web hosting, cooling, and network operations. They own their data centres and have an impressive PUE of 1.12. PUE describes how efficiently a data centre uses energy, typically the lower the better. When choosing a green hosting company, aim for the lowest possible number.
