Go Green Hosting!

Intergalactic Hosting pulls energy from the grid just like every web hosting company. We must pull energy from the grid in order to make sure that we have a constant power flow for our servers and to make sure the servers would not be interrupted by a lack of power.
In order to compensate for the power we pull from the grid we purchase wind energy credits for the energy we consume from the grid. In fact we replace, with wind power, 3 times the amount of energy used by our servers so if we pull 1X of power from the grid we purchase enough wind energy credits to put back into the grid 3X of power having been produced by wind power.
This allows our customers to say that their web sites are 300% green and are actually helping to make the web hosting and power systems greener, not just covering the carbon footprint but covering other.s carbon foot prints as well.
You and the millions of other web site owners can make a huge impact on the amount of time that the billions of web site visitors are faced with some sort of reminder about the efforts of going green. The goal is to have a green energy marker on every web site and of course in reality it would be next to impossible to reach that goal. Just imagine for a moment though if we could accomplish even 10% of that goal. Can you imagine what a powerful effect it could have in stimulating the conscious and sub conscious of hundreds of millions of people into being more attentive toward going green.
By the way, going green for your own web site and your business almost assuredly will lead to higher sales compared to your non green competitors. In 2006, 81% of Americans polled by the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies felt that they had a personal responsibility to do something positive about the environment. So all things being equal and you.ve gone green and your competitors have not, you should win the business 81% of the time and that.s where going green and promoting green makes good economic sense.
We have all seen in articles, news reports and documentaries about how we.ve failed to realize until relatively recently how harmful many of our actions have been to the environment. To think that we need to reverse over a century.s worth of heavy pollution on a global scale can seem daunting. This is why at Intergalactic Hosting, we feel that now more than ever we can and must collectively work together to heighten awareness and force a change in philosophy for as many individuals as possible.
Remember, turning around our environmental errors will take a collective effort. We have the numbers and the interest, at least 81% of us, now each of us needs to start to do something about it.
