Kwindie has officially moved to eco-friendly hosting with GreenGeeks! By switching, we’re taking an important step toward sustainability and supporting renewable energy initiatives in the web hosting industry.
Why Green Hosting?
The internet’s demand for energy is massive, with traditional hosting companies relying heavily on fossil fuels to power and cool their data centers. This results in significant carbon emissions and a substantial environmental impact. GreenGeeks, however, takes a different approach to hosting by focusing on sustainability at every step.
How GreenGeeks Reduces Environmental Impact
Efficient Data Centers: GreenGeeks uses state-of-the-art, energy-efficient hardware and infrastructure to reduce overall power consumption. Their data centers operate with lower energy demand compared to conventional setups with processes in place such as low-energy lighting, efficient cooling methods, and recycling of electronic waste.
300% Renewable Energy Matching: For every unit of power consumed by their already efficient servers, GreenGeeks purchases three times that amount in renewable energy credits (RECs). This offsets the carbon footprint of their data centers, helping to put clean energy back into the grid and reducing reliance on non-renewable sources.
Carbon Reduction through Tree Planting Programs: GreenGeeks participates in reforestation and carbon offset initiatives; for every hosting plan purchased, GreenGeeks plants one tree to help reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.
How Will This Change Affect You?
All websites hosted with Kwindie have already been transferred to their new host. In terms of service, nothing will change for you—your website’s performance, speed, and reliability will remain top-notch (and may even improve). However, you now have the option to add a Green Hosting Badge to your website if you choose. This badge links directly to a GreenGeeks verification page, confirming that the website is hosted on a green server and explaining a bit about the environmental commitment behind this choice.
Here’s an example of what the badge can look like:

Thank you for your participation in a greener web!
By switching to GreenGeeks, all Kwindie customers are now contributing to a cleaner future. We’re excited about this change and are here to answer any questions you may have about what green hosting means for your website.
