“Other people may not have had high expectations for me… but I had high expectations for myself.“
~ Shannon Miller, Olympic Gold Medalist, GymnasticsWith so much talk about saving energy, the idea of being green has moved into every aspect of life. We think of the web as an electronic device run by millions of computers worldwide, but people rarely consider the environmental impact this huge energy drain has on our environment. Well hosting companies are waking up and have come to realize that being green applies to the Internet too!What is a Green Host?
A green host focuses on three aspects of energy savings:
1) Saving energy by reducing usage through modification of data center design and technologies used
2) Utilizing renewable energy sources to ensure the electricity they use was generated in an environmentally friendly manner.
3) Saving energy in the manner they run their company.How do they reduce energy usage?

-
Installing more memory into servers to make them run more efficiently.
