Green Hosting Reviews

Green Hosting, a service provided by the UK-based web design company Make Hay Ethical E-Media, was established in 2006. It originated from the parent company's desire, founded in 2004, to host its own website using renewable energy. Initially utilizing a US-based wind-powered service, Green Hosting transitioned to a UK-based provider in 2013 to offer its services domestically. The company's core unique selling proposition is its commitment to environmental sustainability. Its hosting services are powered entirely by renewable energy sources, including wind, solar, and hydro power, sourced directly for its London-based data centre. This data centre boasts a high Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) rating of 1.05, indicating significant energy efficiency. Green Hosting targets ethically-minded clients, including charities, non-profits, social businesses, and individuals seeking environmentally responsible website hosting. They emphasize personal, UK-based customer support, managed by their own team rather than third-party call centres or bots, leveraging their web design background to offer knowledgeable assistance. They offer shared hosting plans and differentiate themselves by not overselling server space and providing a personalized setup experience. A portion of their sales is also donated to charities like Renewable World.
