Sustainable Web Hosting - Environment-Friendly
Why is web hosting bad for the environment?
- Web hosting is storing and serving website data over the internet.
- Websites are hosted from powerful datacenters so they can be quickly accessed over the internet.
- Datacenters use lots of electricity when they store, process and transfer data.
- Electricity often comes from polluting sources, like coal and gas, that create Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) and have a big carbon footprint.
- About half the electricity used goes to waste. The energy used by typical datacenters is divided into 40% server computers, 40% refrigeration, 10% power supply, 5% storage, and 5% communications.
How can datacenters reduce their impact on the environment?
- Switching to renewable energy sources like wind and solar and using less energy from polluting sources, also called the Green Energy Coefficient (GEC).
- Minimizing the power used by non-IT activities like cooling, also called Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE).
- Improving equipment utilization when it is on, also called IT Equipment Utilization (ITEU).
- Using efficient equipment to increase computer output per unit of power consumed, also called IT Equipment Energy Efficiency (ITEE).
