The internet costs a lot to power: over 400 terawatt-hours a year. While an individual website’s footprint is small, it all adds up. The internet is responsible for around 3.7% of global greenhouse gas emissions. That’s similar to the amount produced by the global airline industry.
With our green hosting, you can be assured that your websites are stored on servers that avoid contributing to climate change.
Our renewable energy suppliers have ensured that our web hosting, cooling and network is powered by 100% renewable energy. This is the case in both the UK and US data centres.
Our data centres excel in efficiency with a PUE (power usage effectiveness) of 1.12. PUE describes how efficiently a data centre uses energy (the lower the better). Most hosts have a PUE of 1.2 or higher. We felt we could do better, so we have a PUE of 1.12. It’s an important figure to note when looking for green hosting.
As more efficient technology becomes available, we replace our hardware – but never at a cost to your sites’ performance. We provide the fastest hosting available, without harming the planet.
Our team has developed a unique hosting platform, unavailable anywhere else.
Central to this is our autoscaling technology. This ensures that when a website becomes busy, it can be allocated the resources of our entire hosting platform: multiple servers. Unlike other companies, your website isn’t bound to a single server.
Key to our eco-friendly offering is that this also works in reverse. If a website is no longer busy, it will take up fewer resources: processors, RAM and their associated cooling tech. Less resource mean less electricity used, and ultimately, a reduction in harmful emissions.
All Oskam client websites are powered by 100% renewable energy. Just by choosing Oskam as your hosting provider, you’re helping reduce your organisation’s overall carbon footprint.
This is something to be proud of, so why not show your visitors your website’s green credentials with your very own Green Hosting Badge? It’s free to use and gives a clear signal that you’re doing your bit to help the environment.
Display it on your website today to differentiate yourself from the competition and help raise awareness of how we can all make a difference in the fight against climate change.
