Best Green Web Hosting

Socially Responsible Web Hosting Environment

Chanticleer Complete Internet Inc. was the first hosting company in Ontario to run entirely on Green power.

  • Chanticleer Complete Internet started it’s journey as a Green Host in April 2003, by paying for the production of 3000 Kilowatt hours of clean wind energy. This purchase meant that both of Chanticleer’s offices and all its web servers (including all their client’s websites and emails that the company hosted) were powered by wind energy for one full year.
  • In that first year alone, that purchase of wind energy displaced 2670 kg of carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas that causes climate change, along with other pollutants.
  • Today, they purchases 730 Kilowatt hours of 100% green electricity every month.
  • This power is sourced from clean EcoLogo-certified sources including low-impact wind and low-impact hydro.
  • This annual purchase of clean, renewable sources has the following benefits:
    • lowers our annual emissions footprint
    • help fight climate change and air pollution
    • helps fund new green energy projects (like solar on schools)

 

Our Cumulative green energy purchased as of January 2021

107.3 MWh

Bullfrog’s generators put 100% green electricity onto the grid to match the amount of electricity our organization purchases to ensure the electricity going onto the grid on our behalf is from clean, renewable sources.

Bullfrog’s electricity is sourced from a blend of wind and low-impact hydropower sourced from new Canadian renewable energy facilities.

 

Is Green Hosting Really Necessary?

Data Centers are energy hogs.  In the USA, Data Centers use 90 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity a year, while Global Data Centers used roughly 416 terawatts (4.16 x 1014 watts).  This is approximately 2% of all energy consumed. Those Data Centers produce the same CO2 output each year as driving 31 million cars driving around the earth.  So, yes, since we don’t want to give up our email or stop streaming movies from Netflix, we believe in Green Hosting as a reasonable way to offset the CO2 by supporting clean, renewable sources of energy.
