Every website has a carbon footprint. Servers run around the clock, and the cooling that keeps them stable draws more power still. Green hosting reduces that footprint by running on renewable energy in efficient facilities. Ours has done so from UK data centres since 2002, at the same price as our standard plans.
Ideal for growing businesses, portfolio sites and organisations needing to balance cost with features.
Our most capable plan for businesses, developers and anyone managing large sites.
Every plan runs on the same renewable-powered UK platform. Choose the size that fits, and upgrade whenever you outgrow it.
You can change plans or cancel your account at any time. Payment is secure through Stripe or PayPal.
We are rated excellent on Google reviews.
Our web hosting platform is built on autoscaling cloud infrastructure, giving you performance and reliability that scales with your needs.
Your site runs on renewable energy, and your data stays in the UK.
SSD storage and current-generation servers do more work per watt.
Content is served from close to your visitors, so less data travels further than it needs to.
Cached pages skip the database entirely, which cuts both load time and energy use.
Newer PHP does the same job in fewer server cycles.
We move your site across for you, with no downtime.
Every web hosting plan comes with the same core features – no hidden extras or paywalls. Here’s everything included:
Our web hosting solutions make it easy to get a professional website online, complete with SSL protection, custom mailbox addresses and privacy protection – all powered by our 100% green hosting platform.
Our UK data centres run on renewable supply rather than grid average power, so the electricity behind your website comes from wind, solar and hydro.
Power Usage Effectiveness, or PUE, measures how much electricity goes on cooling and overheads rather than on the servers themselves. Modern efficient facilities sit well below 1.5, and the difference compounds across thousands of sites.
Hosting is only half the equation. Caching, image optimisation and a current PHP version reduce the data your site transfers, which saves energy at every step between our servers and your visitor’s phone.
Keeping your site in the UK means shorter journeys for your data, one of Europe’s cleaner electricity grids, and no questions about where your information is stored.
Plenty of hosts put a leaf on the homepage. Fewer will tell you where the servers are, what powers them, or how efficient the building is. We have hosted UK websites since 2002, our infrastructure runs on renewable energy in UK data centres, and our support team is made of people you can speak to.
Green hosting with us costs the same as standard hosting, because it is the same platform. There is no premium for choosing the cleaner option, and no compromise on speed. Efficient infrastructure is fast infrastructure.
No. Efficient infrastructure is cheaper to run, and those savings offset the cost of renewable supply. Our green hosting is priced the same as our standard hosting because it is the same platform.
No. Efficiency and speed pull in the same direction. Modern hardware, good caching and current software make a site both faster and less energy-hungry.
For one small site, modest. Across a platform, considerable. Honestly, reducing your page weight is a bigger lever than changing host, and doing both is better than either.
Free tools estimate carbon per page view from your page weight and your host’s energy profile. They are approximations, but useful for finding the pages that need attention.
Our charity and non-profit plans run on the same renewable-powered platform at reduced prices for registered organisations.
