Green Web Hosting Debate

There has been a lot of talk about green web hosting lately. I am all for saving the planet as much as the next guy - but I don’t think the practices that are going on are actually doing much for the environment. Instead it is one big PR game being played with the public - and many are falling for it hook, line and sinker.

I covered this topic (as it relates to web hosting) and a few others this week on the podcast.

For most people, green hosting is that kind that has been sitting in the back of the refrigerator a little too long. Pretty soon though I have a feeling that either by hook or crook we will all be impacted by in in one way or another in the future. I’ll talk about it, tell you what it is and let you know what you can do to help.

It seems like if you have enough money you can buy yourself out of your problem and then you don’t actually have to worry about changing your day to day business or day to day life. As I talked about on this week’s edition of the Web Hosting Show - I think there’s something that smells funny about the whole green web hosting deal.

Comments and Feedback

I am a bit inclined to agree with you. In fact I just posted an article yesterday about this very thing. Even though I do own a web hosting company and the data centers are releasing the information of better energy saving equipment and “green energy” which gives us as hosting companies the right to publish that we are “green” I am also wondering if its not just a big marketing scandal again. Another fad. Its great to help save the planet but it almost seems to little to late :(

Yep, personally I hope it doesn’t become the new “unlimited” as far as the hosting world goes.
