GreenHosting: Eco-Friendly Websites
Green Hosting is an eco-friendly website host — a type of website hosting service powered by renewable energy as opposed to typical websites powered by fossil fuels.
About Green Hosting, The GreenHosting: Eco-Friendly Website Host:
In 2004, Green Hosting’s parent company, Make Hay (website design services) wanted to host their website with renewable resources instead of non-renewable resources — fossil fuels. And so, the journey to founding Green Hosting and Green Hosting UK began.
Two years later, Make Hay was able to deliver on their goal and provide wind-powered website hosting for themselves and their clients.
