Yes! By partnering with Aiso.net we offer the industry's only 100% solar-powered hosting solutions. No green credits here. Our data centers are powered, cooled, and maintained by solar, wind, and hydro powered electricity.

Yes! A green host can account for up to 20% of your site’s emissions, however there are other emissions from network infrastructure and user devices. Our certification takes tangible steps to decrease the size of your website and invest in the proper carbon offsets to effectively neutralize your website.

Also, not all green hosts are created equally. Many “green hosts” are still powered by fossil fuels and simply buy carbon offsets or renewable energy credits to account for their emissions. Our green hosting solutions are 100% powered by renewable energy by on-site solar panels, meaning no emissions result from hosting your site.

WNP combines your site’s design, user statistics, and technical research to calculate your site’s footprint. For more info on our calculation look at our process.

Every time a user accesses your website, data is transferred from your host, over the network infrastructure, to the user’s device. Transferring this data requires energy, which in turn results in carbon emissions. Learn more here.

Of course it does! While the carbon emissions of a website are hidden from view, the Internet accounts for a significant portion of global electricity consumption. With fossil fuels being the predominant source of global electricity generation, it is easy to see how the Internet’s carbon footprint is a serious issue. Certifying your site is a concrete, measurable way to address climate change personally by investing in renewable energy and carbon offsets.

We purchase carbon offsets.

We are international! 

In summary, we calculate everything, migrate to solar-powered hosting, reduce what we can, and offset the rest. If you'd like a more detailed look into how we do it, give the our How it Works page a look!

Part of our certification process consists of helping you optimize your site making it lighter and faster. These are two categories that are included in Google's search ranking SEO algorithm.

Although we strongly advise you to switch to a green host as its the single largest way to reduce your websites carbon footprint, we can still certify your website.
