How do we reduce our carbon footprint and deliver Green Web Hosting?

GlowHost is a U.S. EPA Green Power Partner – GlowHost is a recognized EPA Green Power Partner. While others claim to be green, very few web hosting services providers are certified in this EPA program. We purchase certified green RECs which offset more than 100% of our corporate office energy usage. As of 2017 we are working solely with the Prairie Breeze Wind Energy Farm who provides GlowHost with renewable resources which exceed 100% of the amount of energy of which we consume at our corporate headquarters. GlowHost eliminates our own energy footprint and the energy footprint of others at the same time with this special certification. -
Electronic Invoicing and Receipts – GlowHost was one of the pioneers of electronic invoicing and receipts. While it may sound somewhat regular today, when our company first started up back in 2002, paper payments and receipts were still a big thing. Even today giants like Amazon provide paper receipts in their shipments. Because of our commitment to provide paperless billing, we’ve saved thousands of pounds of fuel, CO two and paper products from polluting the environment, and we’re very proud of that. -
Automatic Power Reduction in Off-Peak Hours – Non-critical GlowHost workstations power off or go into hibernation modes when not in use. Simple things like this can make a difference when compounded in large scale. This is in addition to already using energy the most efficient hardware available within our network of datacenters which are designed to be environmentally friendly. We’re happy to contribute our part whenever possible. -
Trained in Green Alternatives – GlowHost’s staff are trained to suggest electronic forms of communication like email or PDF as an alternative to paper communications like fax or postal mail when dealing with our vendors, partners and customers. This helps us to save trees because we do not use the paper, stamps, and envelopes associated with traditional paper communications. This also eliminates our reliance on the wasteful manufacturing processes that go along with the creation of these products.
