Green Hosting for the Future
I guess that you’ve already read thousands of articles and blog posts about this issue. Nevertheless I still find it important to say something about green hosting. Most other major industries have a game plan when it comes to the environment and why shouldn’t web hosts also have it? It’s an industry that’s constantly on the rise and it affects many peoples life. We should all do what we can to keep our earth healthy.
I think that it’s partially up to the web hosting providers and partially up to the consumers to act when it comes to green hosting. Hosting providers should, of course, already have some kind of a plan when it comes to this. One example of things to do is to have a paper free work place. If they haven’t a plan for the environment it’s up to the consumers to put some pressure on these companies. I think that you would be surprised over how much influence the “little person” has over the big companies. After all, without the consumers the web hosting industry wouldn’t do as well as it’s doing right now. So everybody unite and let’s make the best for this planet’s future!

Thanks for encouraging individuals to get involved. Companies have a HUGE role to play, whatever sector they are in. Many of them will only do so if they are pressured to do so or if they believe it will influence a consumer’s choice to purchase from them or not. We VOTE more than once every election cycle. We vote EVERY DAY for the type of future we wish to create through our choices and where we spend our money.

I think that Green web hosting is just a load of crap. What web hosting company uses paper anyway? That is already out of the equation. Yes, maybe you could setup your servers to run in power save mode, but this will only mean you will have to buy more servers in the long run. More servers using less power…instead of less servers using slightly more power. What about all the energy that goes into making the hardware for these servers?
