Kimbo Design’s New Green Web Server
Have you ever thought about hosting your website on an eco-friendly web server? Well I have, after attending a workshop presented by the David Suzuki Foundation.
After attending the workshop called Commitment to Sustainable Workplace Practices presented by one of the representatives from the David Suzuki Foundation, I was inspired to become more “Green” in the workplace. The workshop got me thinking into what I can do at my office to reduce my carbon footprint and become more environmentally-friendly.
Now, there is not much that I can do at my office that can further reduce my carbon footprint. I mean, I do turn off the lights and put my computer to sleep mode when I leave the office every night. But that’s pretty much all I can do. So I thought to myself….there has to be more that I can do to become more eco-friendly.
Well, there is one more thing that I can do to become more eco-friendly and that is choosing a more eco-friendly web hosting company. I have been designing websites for many years, but never once have I thought about choosing a web hosting company that is eco-friendly.
Now, you’re probably wondering, what exactly is an eco-friendly web hosting company? I’m not really an expert in this field but I can answer this question in one sentence: An eco-friendly web hosting company is like any other web hosting with the exception that they use some other means of powering their web servers that are both more energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly. That pretty much sums it up. That is what they call Green Web Hosting.
After many hours of researching and comparing several web hosting companies that offer green eco-friendly hosting, I decided that it was time for me to take action. I finally switched to a green eco-friendly web hosting company.
This means that the Kimbo Design website (the website that you are on right now) is being hosted on a certified green eco-friendly web server. Could you believe it?
I really think that other web hosting companies should make the move towards being more eco-friendly because if they don’t, in the future, web hosting may become a major energy waster considering the fact that an average web hosting company consume an enormous amount of electricity to power their data centers and web servers 24×7 365 days a year.
Now that we are hosting our website on a green eco-friendly server, I am proud to say that Kimbo Design Inc. has taken one more step towards reducing our carbon footprint and becoming more environmentally-friendly.
