Top Level Traffic Green Hosting
Why green hosting?
In a year, the internet consumes more than 400 terawatt-hours of energy, hence, we only provide green hosting. Even though each website has a small carbon footprint, it all adds up: the internet accounts for 3.7% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
It’s similar to how much the airline industry produces worldwide. The green hosting we offer ensures that your websites are hosted on servers that do not contribute to climate change.
100% Renewable Energy
As a result of our partnership with renewable energy suppliers, our web hosting, cooling, and network are powered 100% by renewable energy. There is no difference between the US and UK data centers in this regard.
Top Level Efficiency
Having a PUE (power usage effectiveness) of 1.12, our data centers are among the most efficient in the industry. The lower the PUE, the more efficient the data center is at using energy. PUE is usually higher than 1.2 on most hosts. As a result, we have a PUE of 1.12. Taking this into consideration when looking for green hosting is essential.
Technology of the future
Every few years, we replace our hardware with more efficient technology, but never at the expense of the performance of your sites. Our hosting services are fast and environmentally friendly.
We Solve Real Problems
Sustainable Data Centers
Most people will never think about the environmental impact of a web hosting service, but that could be a mistake. There are many factors to consider in choosing the right hosting provider, including price, features, reputation, support, and more.
Web hosting consumes a lot of energy. To keep temperatures manageable, data centers usually use massive cooling systems to accommodate tens of thousands of high-powered computers, most of which have permanently high CPU and drive usage. There can be some surprising sums behind all this. Jack Amend, founder of the Web Neutral Project, calculates that powering the average website produces 4,500 pounds of CO2 per year, the equivalent of driving a new car for more than 10,000 miles.
In that context, we’re not quite sure what ‘average’ means, as we create top-level websites, but the message is clear: hosting has a very real environmental impact, so we mitigate this 100% with fully renewable energy data centers. Yet it doesn’t stop there, we also take an active approach to being 100% sustainable, our leader is vegan, and we also make other ethical approaches during our day-to-day work-life balance.

Our Green Business
A Green Office
We have our headquarters in Pencoed, Bridgend, South Wales, UK. Our Infrastructure is powered by 2,088 solar panels, which offset thousands of tonnes of carbon emissions every year.
Green Choice
All of our waste is recycled and we run a paperless office. Lighting is provided by automatic LEDs. Every product we use, from snacks to cleaning products, is environmentally friendly.
Green Thinking
We encourage employees to work from home when they can, share cars when they can, and run a cycle-to-work destination or meeting program.
Top Level Traffic Green Hosting
An eco-friendly host
We have developed an exclusive hosting platform that is unmatched in the industry, let alone even available anywhere else.
Our autoscaling technology plays a key role in this process. In this way, the resources of our entire hosting platform can be allocated to a busy website when needed. This way your business website is not tied to a single server like other companies.
Eco-friendly offerings work in both directions, which is a key feature of our offering. Websites that are no longer busy consume fewer resources: processors, RAM, and cooling equipment. A reduction in resources means a reduction in electricity used, and therefore a reduction in harmful emissions.
