Green Web Hosting
Green web hosting is a type of hosting on the World Wide Web using only energy that is environmentally friendly and is powered through naturally generated resources. A typical green web hosting service will be powered by either wind energy or solar power to generate the electricity required for the data centers.
Servers are just like any other appliance that needs electricity to work. Most of these servers are on 24 hours every day and therefore are consuming a great deal of energy. This has caused the hosting companies to turn to using renewable energy sources to power their servers and activities.
