-- TheHosting.review, a review site focusing on user experience and performance monitoring, today announced the best green web hosting providers for 2016.
According to TheHosting.review, green web hosting is an eco-friendly hosting concept adopted by a smaller number of web hosts when compared to the traditional hosting. As the operations of data centers, including the cooling system, web servers, security system and lighting, require a large sum of energy and make a negative impact on the environment, a provider of green web hosting usually makes efforts to reduce the emissions and pollutions.
To find the good options for green web hosting, the editors of TheHosting.review have reviewed 100+ web hosts and compared their green methods, pricing, performance and support. The final winners are GreenGeeks, A2Hosting and HostGator, three providers having been contributing to environment protection consistently.
• GreenGeeks and HostGator have been invested in wind energy by purchasing the Renewable Energy Credits.
• A2Hosting keeps the services carbon neutral by cooperating with Carbonfund.org in the creation of renewal and clean energy.
Established as a green web host, GreenGeeks purchases energy credits that are equal to three times the energy consumed by their facilities. The company is an EPA Green Power Partner and works with multiple environmental organizations to negate the carbon footprint. Besides, they also use energy-efficient hardware in the data centers.
GreenGeeks offers all of the shared hosting, VPS, WordPress hosting and reseller hosting based on the green platform. The prices of these services start from $3.96/mo only for new customers claiming the exclusive 20% discount. All users of GreenGeeks are allowed to put a green badge on their websites.
A2Hosting plants three trees for each hosting package that is sold. In addition, the company recycles old servers and reuses them as internal servers or dedicated servers for clients who have lower requirements on the server resource. A2Hosting green web hosting plans are priced from $3.92/mo.
HostGator purchases certified RECs for 130% of the energy used by their reseller and shared servers to help deal with the carbon emissions. The electricity consumed by both data center power and cooling is covered. The green web hosting offered by HostGator costs a minimum of $4.86/mo.
"According to estimates, the web hosting industry will contribute to over 3.5% of the global climate change by 2020, which is more severe than the airline industry. To prevent this from happening, we suggest webmasters take more considerations to green web hosting," said Eunge, the founder of TheHosting.review.
