Get Green offer eco-smart, carbon-neutral web hosting

Get Green, a web hosting company in Cape Town, South Africa, is now offering carbon-neutral web hosting to individuals, businesses and organizations throughout South Africa. Get Green is powering and cooling their servers with renewable wind and solar energy. This allows the Get Green team to offer a web hosting solution to green-conscious businesses and organizations that are interested in eliminating their own carbon footprint.

For every watt of electricity that a server uses to power itself, 1 to 2 watts of energy are also used to keep it cool. While some “green” web hosting services only offset the electricity used to power their servers, Get Green utilizes renewable energy to cool their servers as well. Offsetting the electricity used to cool a server is as critical to carbon footprint downsizing as offsetting the electricity used to power it.

“At first, our goal was to reduce our own carbon footprint and then it just evolved into Get Green” says Chris Edington, CEO of Get Green. “We’re taking the technology we’re using to be carbon-neutral and we’re offering it to other companies that are trying to ‘Get Green,’ too. We’re helping our clients become more planet-friendly while providing them with an awesome web hosting service,” Edington says. “It’s great for their business and it’s great for the planet.”
Also, Get Green is a certified GreenPop tree planting partner, and will plant at least one tree for every client sign-up. There are three packages, each with an increasing number of options and features, which translate into a greater number of trees being planted. For every Seedling, Nursery, and Plantation Package sign-up, Get Green will plant one, two and three trees respectively.

Every business or organization that signs up for web hosting as part of the Get Green initiative, will receive a ‘Gone Green’ badge from Get Green to display on their website. Earth-aware consumers, who are seeking out green-conscious businesses, will be able to identify companies that have opted to have their websites powered by a renewable energy source through Get Green. Get Green is an eco-smart web hosting solution for businesses of any size. Get Green offers high bandwidth, disk space, seamless transfers, email accounts and a number of other options with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
