Grab your cape, we’re saving the planet.
The internet is a carbon-emitting beast that produces over a billion tonnes of CO2 every year. It’s a leading contributor to climate change, emitting 50% more carbon than even the aviation industry. It simply has to be reduced.
At Nimbus we’re passionate about hosting, but we’re equally passionate about protecting the planet – and we feel it’s our duty to minimise our impact on the environment.
That’s why we’ve pledged to support green initiatives and become a carbon-neutral organisation. What does that mean? We’re going further than simply carbon offsetting and renewable energy alone. We’ve made fundamental changes to the way we operate, the choices we make as individuals, and how we run our businesses.
It also means that by working with us, you can rest assured you’re contributing to reducing the carbon emissions of the world’s internet.
The Nimbus green pledge.
Help us cut the internet's carbon emissions, and win more projects.
Going green is top of clients’ agendas, and we’ll help you get them there.
This matters to us, to you, and to your clients.
That’s why our service is just as reliable as it is eco-friendly.
What is green hosting and how does it benefit the environment?
Green hosting is an eco-friendly hosting option powered by renewable energy. It helps businesses reduce their carbon footprint and environmental impact.
Around 3.7% of the world’s total carbon emissions come from data centres powered by fossil fuels. Eco-friendly web hosting reduces this negative impact on the environment by using renewable energy – an extremely energy-efficient alternative.
Our renewable energy-powered data centre prevents 45 million tonnes of carbon dioxide from entering the Earth’s atmosphere every year, compared to using fossil fuels.
So, green hosting with Nimbus dramatically reduces the amount of CO2 that escapes into the atmosphere, while helping your business outshine the competition, with 99.995% uptime, guaranteed.
How does Nimbus contribute to reducing carbon emissions?
Data centres that are powered by fossil fuels contribute 3.7% of all carbon emissions. Our green hosting uses 100% renewable energy for maximum energy efficiency.
By using a green data centre, we’ve made it possible for our customers to reduce their carbon footprint just by using our fantastic hosting services.
If you want to make your company carbon-neutral, or you’re working with companies trying to reduce their carbon footprint, eco-friendly web hosting with us is a great choice. It helps the environment, ensures that your business is actively doing good for the planet, and keeps your web hosting running smoothly.
What are the differences between traditional hosting and green hosting?
There shouldn’t be a significant difference between traditional web hosting and green hosting in terms of what they offer. Both should supply good-quality hosting services with high uptime, security, and reliability. The differences come when we look at energy usage and environmental impact.
Traditional web hosting is powered by fossil fuels, while our green web hosting, by comparison, is powered by renewable energy, thanks to a data centre that saves 45 million tonnes of CO2 each year.
Finding the balance between energy-efficient servers and exceptional speeds, security, and reliability is something that Nimbus has perfected. So you can enjoy some of the best hosting you’ll ever use that just so happens to be powered by renewable energy.
How does switching to green hosting impact my website’s performance?
Switching to green hosting won’t impact your website’s performance at all. Well, that isn’t strictly true. If you switch to green web hosting by Nimbus, your website’s performance, reliability, and security will likely improve, depending on the web hosting providers you’re currently using.
With a green hosting plan from Nimbus, you’ll enjoy 99.995% uptime – guaranteed.
Do you have a website that regularly experiences traffic spikes? No worries, Nimbus is up to 400% more capable than any other hosting provider at handling traffic spikes, so any websites you host with us are in good hands.
Whether you’d like more affordable web hosting or you want to become more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, Nimbus can cater for your needs.
What initiatives does Nimbus support for a greener internet?
We support a variety of organisations that are committed to creating a greener internet, including:
Low Carbon Workspaces (Net Zero Ngage)
Each of the organisations above is committed to positively changing the internet (and the rest of the world) and offering guidance on more sustainable practices.
From renewable energy data centres and renewable energy certificates to eco-friendly projects around the world, we’ve partnered with these organisations because they’re leading the digital world in practical, economical, and sustainable ways to improve our planet.
Can green hosting help my business’s sustainability goals?
Yes, absolutely. Green web hosting can help environmentally conscious businesses reach their highest sustainability goals.
Web hosting contributes to the world’s carbon footprint much more than people realise (3.7% of the world’s total CO2 emissions come from web hosting services using fossil fuels).
A green website deserves green web hosting. To reduce your carbon footprint, it’s best to ensure that your websites are powered by renewable energy and that the business providing your hosting is as eco-friendly and conscious as you.
If you’d like to improve your business’s sustainable practices, green hosting is a quick and easy place to start from a time and cost perspective.
Nimbus is one of the first carbon-neutral green hosting providers in the UK. We’re very proud of this, but that doesn’t mean we stopped there. We’ve gone a step further and invested in global energy efficiency initiatives that are making an exceptional environmental impact around the world.
While our data centre is green, a large portion of the world isn’t. So, we’ve invested in initiatives to help drive change.
With the right initiatives in place, the growth of eco-friendly practices and renewable energy sources is achievable. Our mission is to support such initiatives, both in the UK and internationally, making this possibility a reality.
To check whether your hosting provider offers green hosting, you can use one of the initiatives we support, The Green Web Foundation. Pop the URL of your website into the search bar and it’ll let you know if your web hosts are using renewable energy.
If they’re not, it’s time to look for green web hosting from a company with a green energy supplier, like Nimbus. We only offer green hosting plans, so there’s always an eco-friendly option that’ll supercharge your websites
Champion your clients’ sites and the planet, with Nimbus – one of the UK’s leading green web hosting providers.
Change to a powerfully eco-friendly web hosting provider.
Move to 100% renewable energy, and get our platform and UK-based support, too.
Good for the planet, great for you.
Every email you send, every line of code you write, every webpage you load, every video meeting you run… They all create a data stream that demands electricity. Worse, it travels through huge data centres that need electricity to keep running – and even more to keep cool.
If your agency’s hosting lots of websites for lots of clients, their combined carbon footprint could be much bigger than you realise.
Switching to green hosting with data centres that run on renewable energy cuts the emissions of every website you manage – reducing your carbon footprint, and helping your clients do the same.
Give eco-conscious clients a reason to choose (and recommend) you, and a story that reflects well on you – and them – wherever you share it. We also offer a range of additional hosting solutions from managed PHP hosting and WordPress hosting to Magento hosting and Ecommerce website hosting.
Our impact in numbers.
Reduce your business’ carbon footprint.
