Web Hosting Provider BrainHost.com “Goes Green”
Industry-leading web hosting provider Brain Host details how the company provides eco-friendly web hosting and implements environmentally responsible business practices.
Akron, OH – Going green is a hot button issue these days, and web hosting provider Brain Host is ahead of the pack when it comes to green web hosting.
“The web hosting industry consumes a huge amount of energy, which generates a lot of pollution and puts a tremendous strain on the environment. ” said a Brain Host representative. “I actually just read a report that estimates that by 2020, the web hosting industry will be responsible for more pollution than the air line industry. That’s a pretty sobering thought. Here at Brain Host, we’re doing our part to try to reverse these trends and provide web hosting that is more environmentally conscious.”
Data centers are the biggest offenders when it comes to energy inefficiency and pollution. Brain Host’s data center is specially engineered to require less cooling, which puts less of a strain on the power grid and reduces the data center’s energy usage. This helps to reduce pollution, hot spots, and service interruption.
Brain Host also uses low-voltage, energy efficient servers, which are largely free from lead, mercury, and other harmful substances. This helps to reduce water contamination, air pollution, and the production of solid and chemical waste.
Besides using energy efficient hardware and data centers, the employees of Brain Host are also taking other steps to aid the environment, including office-wide recycling, using natural light instead of artificial lighting whenever possible, using special power strips for electronics, and more.
