First of all, please welcome our sister company, Clean Earth Hosting, to ROCKHOST.COM. The acquisition process has been an enlightening one to ownership about the current state of the environment.
Most people are not fully aware that, just by being online, they already have a negative effect on the Earth. Consider the resources being consumed by individual computers, most of all, by servers. Projections show that by 2020 the Internet will have contributed a significant quantity of greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere. In fact, early predictions indicate that this amount will surpass the impact of the entire airline industry over the same time frame. Even though studies have proven, on average, that a mere 6% of the total capacity of datacenters are necessary. The implementation of strategies to transform a traditional "dirty" web host into a "clean" green host is an advocacy worth supporting.
Here at ROCKHOST.COM we want to be the trailblazer for green web hosting. At present, we make up for our fossil fuel derived power dependence with carbon footprint offsetting. By using carbon offsets, or "green tags", we support the development of renewable energy infrastructures that will sustain humanity for generations to come.
