Greening The Web

UK company hosting web sites on Solar Powered Servers!

[ClickPress, Mon Apr 10 2006] There can be no doubt that the Internet is now an essential business tool in the 21st century. But e-growth comes with an environmental price – great hikes in energy consumption. Servers housing web sites are running 24/7. Virtually every website we visit consumes fossil fuels, produces carbon emissions and contributes to the increasing concerns over climate change. The power consumed by an average server is equivalent to leaving all the lights on in a domestic house all day, every day… the Web never sleeps!

It is with this mounting problem in mind and 7 years experience under their belts, Athenaeum Ltd has launched a new ecologically sensitive alternative web hosting service. With servers powered exclusively by Californian sunshine, Athenaeum offers the chance to capitalise on the benefits of the Web while reducing their demand for energy from unsustainable sources.

Athenaeum has a comprehensive range of hosting packages and an excellent support network at keen prices. Being an exclusively vegetarian company and with a mission to decrease the Internet’s carbon footprint as it gets bigger, it is no surprise that it is has already attracted a number of ethical and environmentally aware organisations.
