In recent times a new technology has evolved in the field of web hosting which is known as green web hosting'. These are extremely popular among those website owners who love to save the environment from the damages done by carbon. These green dedicated servers are also popular among the environmentalists who propagate their usage among the website owners so that energy can be saved and pollution can be minimized. In short, these web hosting servers provide good services at low costs and also save the environment.
The servers which are green' are small in size but they offer excellent bandwidth and memory. They have excellent units for supplying power and also excellent cooling mechanisms. This is possible because they use solar and wind power for these purposes which are unlimited and incur extremely low costs. Since they use these alternative ways of energy, therefore they emit much less carbon dioxide into the air.
The traditional servers in comparison emit too much carbon dioxide in the air and are also too costly to maintain, since they consume a huge amount of energy.
It is perfectly fine if you are using a green web hosting company's service because you are not only getting all the benefits that are provided by the traditional servers but also at much lower price.
Also you would find that the services provided by some green hosting companies are much better than many of the traditional servers. Companies like Green Geeks, ThinkHost, HostGator are such companies which are preferred by many website owners over the traditional dedicated servers. This is because these green companies provide much reliable service and great support at cheap rates. Also the servers of these companies are huge in size and they come with huge memory storage facility too along with the benefit of high functionality.
It has also been proved that these web hosting companies save about 40% of the energy cost of their client companies. Also as a client of the green server you would be provided documentations which would let you know the carbon free status of the server. You would find these companies use recycled paper and old hardware too further reducing the carbon footprint in the environment.
