Web Servers Powered by Wind Energy

The IT sector has a huge climate impact which is why Marketing Partners contracts web hosting for our clients on green servers.

One of our hosting companies, HostGator, purchases renewable energy credits — tradable, non-tangible energy commodities that represent proof that 1 megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity was generated from an eligible renewable energy resource. This represents 130% of the electricity used to power and cool their servers, a significant difference from other green companies that only offset the energy to power their servers. Why is this important? Because for every watt of electricity that a server uses, 1-2 watts of electricity are typically required to cool it. HostGator has made a commitment to taking climate change seriously and all of HostGator's RECs are verified, tracked and monitored.
