As one of the largest web hosting providers in the world, HostGator hosts over 4,000,000 websites on its shared and reseller web hosting servers. That’s lot of servers, and a lot of carbon emissions. They were determined to make themselves one of the most Green Web Hosting providers in the world.

All of HostGator’s shared and reseller servers are now 130% wind powered!

How does that work? 130%?

Here is what they have to say on the Host Gator website about their Green Web Hosting:

We’re not just neutralizing our environmental impact, we’re reversing it!

HostGator has purchased certified Renewable Energy Credits representing 130% of the electricity used to both power and cool every last one of our shared and reseller servers!

Just how big a dent in climate change does that make?

It’s the equivalent of:

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
