There are two important factors that go into choosing eco friendly hosting: reliability and credibility. You need to choose an eco friendly web

hosting company that has a reliable form of alternative energy such as wind. When wind turbines create energy for the grid then there is no need to use

non-renewable electricity sources. Wind turbines can also deliver electricity to be stored in a grid so there is no need to use other electricity sources even

when the wind isn’t blowing.

By using eco friendly website hosting services you will be helping to support renewable energy sources. It is important to show that renewable energy

sources can be used if they are developed on a larger scale. If you support wind farms or other forms of renewable energy sources rather than using a

non-renewable source of energy or an isolated renewable energy source then you won’t be helping to spread the growth of other methods of energy

production. It is these other sources of energy production that are leading to environmental and health issues throughout the world.

But why exactly should a company or individual use renewable sources of energy? Currently, renewable energy sources aren’t available in the United

Kingdom and many other countries throughout the world. By supporting renewable energy sources in the United States and other countries that use

renewable sources you will be helping to increase the research into new and more suitable eco friendly web hosting solutions that can be used

throughout the world to benefit everyone.

So next time you are considering a web hosting company or if you want to switch from your existing company to help support renewable energy then

look for a eco friendly web hosting company that is Green-e certified. Why look for this certification? Because this certification is administered by a

non-profit organization called Center for Resource Solutions. This company gives web hosting companies their permission to display the Green-e

certificate only if certain criteria are met.

Any energy product or producer needs to meet certain criteria in order to gain Green-e program certification. The criteria include standards for eligible

energy sources, meeting the Green-e program code of conduct, submitting marketing materials to Green-e for their approval, an annual audit to disclose

figures and a standardized pricing and contract presentation that makes comparison easy.

By meeting these requirements a renewable energy provider such as a wind farm can display the Green-e certification logo beside their products. Then

any web hosting company which uses energy from a renewable energy source with this logo can also gain Green-e certification to prove that they are

truly an eco friendly web hosting service. Then when you choose the company you can be sure you are helping to support renewable energy sources.
