Why is Green Hosting Important?
Did you know that the internet creates around 300 million tonnes of CO2 each year? It produces 3.7% of all greenhouse gases, which is more than the aviation industry – this figure is set to double by 2025.
We’ve Made the Move to Green Hosting. We are proud to share that our website is powered by 100% renewable energy. We have partnered with Solve; a B-Corporation, multi-award-winning SEO & web design company, to provide our visitors with a website performance solution that is powerful and positive for both people and the planet.
What is Green Hosting?
Green hosting is website hosting that has a positive, regenerative impact on the environment. It gives your website a home on a server that is powered by renewable energy. It’s a proactive solution that uses the following practices to reduce a website’s carbon footprint by up to 95%.
- Uses and invests in energy-efficient technology
- Uses renewable energy to power servers
- Engages in carbon off-setting projects
Renewable energy is sourced from natural resources, which are replenished at a higher rate than they are consumed, and carbon offsetting projects, such as tree planting, enhance this eco-efficient cycle.
This provides a sustainable system as the Thousand Year Trust grows, transforms and serves our purpose in the physical and digital world.
Did You Know?
The average website produces 2132kg of CO2 per year, this is as much as a 5,000-mile road trip. Currently, there are over one billion websites in the digital world, and 252,000 more are created every day

Opting for green hosting enables our business to reduce our carbon footprint, align with our sustainability goals and guarantee improved website performance.
