It’s been a while since I discovered “green” VPS hosting. I was surprised to learn that your average web server creates about as much C02 as an SUV and a typical data center of such servers will use as much power as 30,000 homes. How accurate are these claims? Maybe they are just fear factors used to get you to buy into “green” VPS hosting companies.
Google, being a prominent face on the Internet, has reaped some examination as of late scrutinizing their carbon footprint. It is claimed that for two Google searches performed 15g of CO2 is produced, and while that may not sound like much Google processes millions of searches a day.But that data may be boasted as Google field the question that each search only emits about 0.2g of C02.
In a similar vein as Google, it is possible that the carbon impression of VPS hosting is boasted in some cases, especially by those wanting to sell you an easy solution. However, the fact is that hosting millions of sites on the Internet uses extraordinary of energy.
Facingervers powered by renewable energy or those that are not.
Green web services, such as Hosting It Green offer robust script libraries and features comparable to other companies. The best encouragement I can give though is to read between the lines when going green, there is no specification for putting the word green in your company name. In VPS hosting, as in most things, there is a whole range of “greenness” and of course there are bound to be some impostors.
To answer the Q and A posed by this blog’s title “Saving Money by Going Green“, it’s both. Granted, companies will cash in on this movement. But tricky companies got us into this mess, but with a small shift in the advance, I am positive it can get us out.
