The internet costs a lot to power: over 400 terawatt-hours a year.
While an individual website’s footprint is small, it all adds up: the internet is responsible for around 3.7% of global greenhouse gas emissions. That’s similar to the amount produced by the global airline industry.

With our green hosting, you can be assured that your websites are stored on servers that avoid contributing to climate change. Sites hosted will pass the Green Web Foundation’s sustainability checks.

A GREEN HOSTING PLATFORM

We use a unique hosting platform, unavailable anywhere else. Central to this is auto scaling technology. This ensures that when a website becomes busy, it can be allocated the resources of the entire hosting platform: multiple servers. Unlike other companies, your website isn’t bound to a single server.

Key to this eco-friendly offering is that it also works in reverse. If a website is no longer busy, it will take up fewer resources: processors, RAM and their associated cooling tech. Less resource mean less electricity used, and ultimately, a reduction in harmful emissions.

Our data centres excel in efficiency: with a PUE (power usage effectiveness) of 1.12. PUE describes how efficiently a data centre uses energy (the lower the better). Most hosts have a PUE of 1.2 or higher. We have a PUE of 1.12. It’s an important figure to note when looking for green hosting.

Visitor blocking made simpler. We've improved the UI of our website visitor blocking tools.

You can now choose 'allow all countries except X' and 'block all countries except X'. We've also added a world map. See it by managing your hosting package and choosing 'Block Visitors', under CDN. So, if you need to block countries renowned for causing mischief, like Russia and China and Vietnam and Nigeria, a block is just a couple of clicks away. Or if you just want traffic from the UK, that's easy too.

Because of the new existing lockdown, and the pretty dire ongoing impact on businesses (especially small businesses), we're currently working on the provision of free internet web hosting services for all local and regional businesses and organizations until the end of March 2021. No contract, no credit card, no direct debit.

Please PM if you run a SME within the AB postcode areas and you need to save some money on your existing web hosting. This offer is not advertised on our website and is currently not available to businesses or organizations outside of these postcode areas.

Please also accept that we may be slower than usual in responding to your PM messages but that we will be as helpful and as quick as possible.

We offer fully managed web hosting. SSD storage for speed. Free SSL/TLS (that padlock thing). Free load balancing and autoscaling. Control panel, standard 10Gb email accounts. Windows, Linux or specialised WordPress servers. Bespoke content delivery network (CDN) with EDGE caching. Routine malware scans. And more.

One click staging on our WordPress platform creates an exact clone of your live site, where you can make modifications or experiment with new features.

You aren’t allocated a single server or defined by any hardware or software limits – we have access to a true cloud platform built for redundancy while maintaining great speed and (up to) a truly unlimited service.

Over 20 years experience with support based near Peterhead, Aberdeenshire. Local areas include Aberdeen, Fraserburgh, Peterhead, Ellon, Huntly, Inverurie, Banff but our services are global.
