Buy Hosting & Plant Trees!
We’ve teamed up with Ecologi in a meaningful collaboration to amplify our commitment to the environment.
For every web hosting plan purchased from our platform, we pledge to plant trees – the amount varies depending on the plan ordered.
This initiative not only offers our customers top-tier hosting solutions, but it also provides a simple yet impactful way for them to contribute to global reforestation projects.
By partnering with us, you’re not just getting reliable web services; you’re directly investing in a greener and more sustainable planet. Let’s harness the power of technology and nature, working hand in hand, to create lasting positive change for our world.
You can find our Ecologi profile here. Our impact and commitments are updated quarterly pending review of eligible services.
Datacentre Efficiency
As of 2023, our servers are located in the Telehouse London and Continuity House Midlands datacentres.
Telehouse uses 100% clean and renewable energy across all operations. The energy is procured from certified renewable source generators such as wind, solar, biomass and hydro. Read more here.
The Midlands datacentre was recently built in 2022 with a low PUE target at the forefront of the datacentre build design. Power is provided by a green energy supplier to ensure that every kilowatt provided is generated or paid back into the supply using renewable energy sources.
Server Efficiency
Balancing high-performance with eco-friendliness is a difficult task for a company with high performance computing as a primary goal.
As part of our hardware refresh in Q4 2023, we evaluated different server configurations and found that the servers equipped with the AMD Ryzen 9 7000 processors offer the highest performance-per-watt possible.
Our previous servers were based on the Intel Xeon E-2388G CPU (8cores / 16threads with up to 5.10GHz turbo) and found they used an average of 200w/hour per server!
Our new Ryzen servers with identical work tasks use an average 90w/hour.
That’s an immediate 55% decrease in power usage with an average 20% faster single-threaded performance and 50% higher multi-core performance – as well as having more cores & threads available to be able to put more work through the same server.
The images below show a real-world migration of moving virtual machines from 1 hypervisor (E-2388G – light) to another (Ryzen 7900 – dark).
