Need more details on Green Web Hosting

[SeanyG]

Since, I have entered in the online business, I have used services like shared hosting, reseller hosting, unlimited web hosting, but never used the Green Web Hosting. What type of service is it and what features does it provides? Does it cost more than reseller and vps web hosting?

[Ryan]

The primary aim of Green Web Hosting is environmental sustainability and social responsibility. Many web hosting companies have adopted latest power efficient technologies in their data centers that help save energy thereby reducing their impact on the environment in the first place. This is one of the initiatives taken up by companies in order to provide green web hosting.

Thanks for your reply, Ryan... Does the cost and features different from the typical web hosting types? How does a client can contribute to be a part into saving environment?

[Ryan]

The features & efficiency of green web hosting has been proved to be just as much as the traditional web hosting. It provides all the features available with a traditional web hosting account but in a more environment friendly manner. As far as the cost is concerned, it is more or less dependent on the hosting providers. Some charge a premium for it over the traditional hosting account while some don't.

Okay... Does eUKhost offer any such Green Web Hosting solutions currently or do they have any future plans for it? Because, going for solutions at other companies doesn't make any sense, just because the trust I have on eUKhost cannot be fulfilled by any other web hosting providers.

Our web hosting services can already be classified as Green Web Hosting in a certain way as our new datacenter facility in Milton Keynes uses the latest power efficient technologies and energy efficient cooling systems which typically use 75% less energy than the conventional systems.

You don't need to be a customer of eUKhost to become an affiliate. It is absolutely free and open to join. To read upon complete information about how it works and to register, please visit - https://www.eukhost.com/affiliates.php

Thanks for the link Ryan. Euk seems to offer some irressitable commissions as well. One thing that would force people to join Eukhost's affiliate program is that, an individual needn't necessarily be a customer of Eukhost for being a part of the affiliate program.

That is true. You can signup for the Affiliate program of EUKhost even if you aren't a customer of EUKhost. The registration process is simple and there are no charges for registration.

Once you signup for the Affiliate account, you will be receive a unique link. You need to provide the unique link to your customers and make sure that your customers signup using the same link so that you receive commission for the orders.

To add some more information to Catherine's words, once the affiliate is registered the tracking system generates a unique affiliate URL/link and every time your website visitor or referral clicks the unique URL/Link it will set up the cookie and records it into the affiliate logs for specific period (150 days incase of Eukhost). EUKHOST's tracking system would keep a track of the unique URL that is clicked and if the visitor comes back to EUKHOST for purchase any time in next 150 days, the sale would be tracked through the recorded cookie or IP and the commission would be allocated to the affiliate accordingly.

So no worries if the visitor doesn't sign-up during first visit, let him come back later within 150 days, you'd still earn your commission.

The reason behind the development of green web hosting is that consumers are greatly concerned about the human potential degrading the environment. The mounting temperatures may or may not be related to global warming but in general humans and technology have a harmful impact on the environment. This concept has been absorbed by the web hosting industry.

[Mr.Chapman]

Basically, such kind of service is bit costlier than the typical hosting services, and unless you perform a research, you will get to know actually, how green the service is. However, if you decide to go for this service, make sure you complete your research and end up with a good web host.

[MattBarthorp]

It is a usual trend where services or products have been a bit costly in its early stages. But at the same time it has also been observed that there is a reduction in the costs with the increase in demand. That means, the more the number of users start opting for Green hosting solutions, the lesser would be the cost of offerings.
