From our very start in 2008, we knew of the importance of being responsible and respectful of the environment. Part of the reason that we can offer such low pricing to our customers is because we save so much through our energy conservation efforts.
How has Greenvillehost.com been green?
We started our green initiatives within our very own offices. We have gone completely paperless to not only make our business more cost effective but also reduce waste in landfills. One example of our green efforts is in the storage of all records, files and communications. We don't keep any paper documents and elect to do as much communication and transactions over online services as possible. In addition, all of our office furnishings come from renewable or recycled materials.
Also, all of the technology we employ, from our hard drives to our datacenters, has been energy efficient compliant and geared towards reducing carbon emissions.
Green Energy provided by wind power
We also take steps to actually REVERSE negative environmental impact. How are we doing this? Greenville Host is able to do this by purchasing up to 200% in certified Renewable Energy Credits in electricity produced by wind power.
Traditional servers and technology emit carbon which has negative impact on the environment. By purchasing energy credits, Greenville Host is actually taking the steps to heal the damage already done to our planet.
