Green Hosting

How does the internet pollute so much?

The CO2 emissions attributable to the web are 1.6 billion tons per year, equal to 4% of global CO2 emissions. What are they due to? The Internet is impalpable, but the 800,000 km of cables that connect every corner of the world, crossing oceans and mountains, are... very concrete. As is the enormous energy needed to connect billions of computers, data centers, smartphones to each other.

But still: the servers that support the sites need a lot of energy, for operation and cooling. Palosanto has decided to rely on green servers, powered only by renewable sources.

The choice of Palosanto.it

We have chosen to rely on the Siteground service: a service that, relying on Google Cloud, guarantees environmentally friendly data centers, which maintains the commitment to carbon neutrality by balancing 100% of the energy consumed with renewable energy.

Every operation of the site is managed and executed by the hosting server processor and requires CPU, RAM and storage resources.

The chosen service constantly optimizes the server software to reduce the use of site resources and make navigation “greener”.
