Green web-hosting

All European data centres and most office locations of our web-hosting provider are supplied with electrical power from renewable resources such as wind, water, or solar energy.

The power supplier's own 'green' power is supplemented by additional energy from other suppliers within the Renewable Energy Certificate System (RECS). Our web-hosting provider's involvement helps to save about 30,000 tons of CO2 annually.

Data centres utilize economical hardware and software

Our web-hosting provider not only desires clean energy, but also wants to use as little energy as possible. Thus, for example, for many years it has used highly efficient power supplies with less than 20 per cent heat loss and omits any unnecessary components within its servers.

As soon as the outside temperature falls below 10 degrees, data centres are cooled using open-air coolers that work without energy-hungry compressors. Software too can help save electrical power - based on a Linux platform, a custom-built operating system enables the data of up to 10,000 customers to fit on one server and thus saves valuable resources.
