Why Choose a host that is 100% environment-friendly?
Web hosting and servers are generally terrible for the environment and anything that hosting companies can do to help the environment is better for everyone. The IT sector thus has a huge climate impact. At present, between 3 and 4 percent of all electricity (and the associated carbon emissions) used in the world goes to running data centres. If you’re one of the four and a half million registered users of Second Life, consider this: the average Second Life avatar consumes 1,752 kWh of electricity per year, or about two thirds that of an actual person (globally averaged). One server alone has roughly the same climate impact as a 15mpg SUV!
 What sets Cyberegion apart from its peers in the industry is that they are using renewable energy to both power and cool their servers, whereas a number of green hosts only offset the electricity used to power their servers. That actually represents a big difference, because servers generate a lot of heat. For every watt of electricity that a server uses, 1-2 watts of electricity are typically required to cool it. What that means is that the Cyberegion Hosting Company is investing in about twice as much renewable energy, on a per server basis, as those green hosts only using renewable energy to power their servers.
What can you do to minimize your impact on the climate? Well, for one thing you can switch your hosting company to Cyberegion, if you’re not already a customer of theirs! You can choose from one of their great hosting plans.
Beyond that, there are myriad ways to go green in your personal life. Most of them are totally painless, for example turning off your computer at night, rather than leaving it in sleep mode. Many of them will save you money in the long run, for example using compact fluorescent bulbs instead of incandescent bulbs.
