Eco Web Hosting UK

ICT equipment currently accounts for 3-4% of the world's carbon emissions, and 10% of the UK's energy bill. With a carbon footprint now equal to the aviation industry, ICT, and how businesses utilise ICT, is increasingly coming under the spotlight as governments seek to achieve carbon-cutting commitments.

Eco Web Hosting aims to counter this trend by offering individuals and companies a green web hosting service. We carefully calculate the carbon emissions of our whole business, and ensure that significantly more than this total is absorbed by our trees in Ransom Wood Business Park in Nottinghamshire.

To date Eco Web hosting have planted over 100 trees, which at present absorb more than three times the carbon produced by their servers.

Users can be confident that not only are they getting an ultra-reliable, highly functional web hosting solution, they are also helping the environment.
