Environmentally Friendly Web Hosting
Yes, it's true. Now Winnipeg Web Hosting at xLAB Interactive is green, environmentally friendly, affordable, secure, easy for you to use, and powerful enough to be future-proof!
xLAB's Environmentally Friendly Web Hosting in Winnipeg: Go Green! Our web hosting data centre, one of the largest data centres in North America, has purchased Green-e certified Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) from a large Texas wind farm. This represents 130% of the electricity used to both power and cool all of its shared and partners' servers. RECs offset energy production through a renewable energy resource. The green energy is then fed into the electrical grid.
Did you know that the average web server produces roughly the same greenhouse gas emissions as a 15 mpg (US) SUV? Nationwide, some three to four percent of all electricity consumed in the United States goes to powering the IT sector.
Our data centre's service accounts for approximately 1.3 percent of all the domains on the entire Internet, and their Environmentally Friendly Web Hosting initiative is the equivalent of the following:
- Removing 444 cars from the road for a year, or
- Powering 321 homes with clean energy for a year, or
- Saving 5,654 barrels of oil, or
- Protecting 551 acres of forest for a year.
The IT sector has been conspicuously silent when it comes to admitting and addressing its impact on the climate. At xLAB we are doing what we can, and doing what YOU expect.
So when you host your web site with our Environmentally Friendly Web Hosting service, you're helping to remove greenhouse emission from the environment, and to set a leadership example for other small (and large!) businesses in Winnipeg and Manitoba!
Partnering with a green data centre is just one of the new initiatives we at xLAB are undertaking to make it easier for you to do business with us!
