Go Green with Green Geeks Web Hosting
A message from Trey Gardner, CEO of GreenGeeks.
"Thank You for considering Green Geeks to host your web site. We would appreciate it if you would choose a green eco friendly web hosting provider for your web hosting. It is essential that the web hosting industry start to move toward being more eco friendly as it is estimated that by 2020 if we do not work to make this industry greener, that it will be as big of a polluter as the Airline industry. If you do not choose Green Geeks to host your web site please choose some other certified green eco-friendly web hosting company."
How is Green Geeks Green?
Green Geeks pulls energy from the grid just like every web hosting company. GreenGeeks must pull energy from the grid in order to make sure that they have a constant power flow for their servers and to make sure the servers would not be interrupted by a lack of power.
In order to compensate for the power GreenGeeks pulls from the grid they purchase wind energy credits for the energy we consume from the grid. In fact they replace, with wind power, 3 times the amount of energy used by their servers so if they pull 1X of power from the grid they then purchase enough wind energy credits to put back into the grid 3X of power having been produced by wind power.
This allows all GreenGeeks customers to say that their web sites are 300% green and are actually helping to make the web hosting and power systems greener, not just covering the carbon footprint but covering others' carbon foot prints as well.
Other Ways GreenGeeks is Green
In addition to purchasing wind energy credits Green Geeks works on all of their servers and reconfigures them so that they run more efficiently using less energy and running cooler. What this means is less energy consumption on the server as well as less energy needed to cool the server. (Co-location data centers are constantly cooled [24x7x365] by enormous cooling fans which use a tremendous amount of energy). These attentions to detail on the servers allow Green Geeks to be more energy efficient in their data centers, but they don't stop there.
Green Geeks is also hyper conscious about their carbon footprint in their offices. They employ rigorous recycling in their offices and also makes sure that only legal and essential documents are printed to conserve paper. Any non essential documents which are printed by mistake are returned to the recycle paper area of the office for reuse in any other printing that they need to do. In addition, Green Geeks employs auto lighting control systems to make sure that the lights are not on when no one is in their offices and they make sure they power down all office equipment when not in use.
Lunch and dinner at the office. Green geeks employees take turns bringing in home cooked meals to the office to reduce the amount of times they go out to eat which helps keep bodies in their seats for your support as well as reduce the amount of paper, plastic and Styrofoam which typically come with take out orders.
Telecommuting: Green Geeks searches for top notch personnel and sometimes we find talented and skilled service personnel who are not located near their offices. Rather than try to relocate these talented employees they allow them to telecommute from home or a shared office near them. This allows some of their employees to not have to commute to work saving money and carbon emissions on gas consumption for their cars.
