Green Credentials

Eco Hosting was born from an existing corporate and private web hosting business with a mission to create an environmentally friendly web hosting and domain name registration service. We have been hosting thousands of domains and hosting packages while maintaining our green commitment.

Green and eco web hosting businesses are now appearing all over the internet, but we are one of the original businesses to offset our data centre carbon emissions in the UK. We are often imitated but still unrivalled on price and service.

We were one of the first companies to use free cooling in our data centre, making it one of the most efficient data centres in Europe at the time. We put significant research time into finding the right energy supplier for our data and endeavour to maintain our ethos and core beliefs at all times.

Since the expiration of the CCL Exemption, we still use renewable energy by choice because it is the right thing to do for the environment.

Having offices and data centre locations around the UK means we are able to recruit a wide variety of expertise for all aspects of our operation. We hand-pick a team of web experts to help move the business forward and maintain our high standards.

Eco Hosting continues with the innovative approach to web hosting we have always pioneered. Enix Ltd is registered in England and Wales (Company No. 05861377) with a trading address at 4500 Parkway, Solent Business Park, Whiteley, Fareham PO15 7AZ.

After contributing towards reforestation projects in Devon, Somerset and South Wales, we turned our attention to Scotland. We support The Alladale Reserve north of Inverness, a world-renowned location for forestry research and conservation.

In conjunction with the Scottish Government and the Forestry Commission, 600,000 native trees have been replanted along five river banks over a five-year period. 30,000 of these were planted by The Carbon Managers with significant support from Eco Hosting, including Caledonian pine, alder, holly, aspen and oak.

A research division of Oxford University has several projects operating at Alladale. These include tests with wild boars and how their behaviour helps sustain plant species, monitoring of the Scottish Wildcat to assess potential for reintroduction, and the reintroduction of European Bison.

Bison are a vulnerable species, so this will hopefully enhance the gene pool as well as playing an important role in maintaining mixed biodiversity-rich woodland and grassland. Combined with tree planting, this can only be beneficial for the environment.

Alladale and Eco Hosting support the Challenger Trust, which gives young people the experience of a lifetime. Some inner-city children have never seen the countryside, but with the Trust they spend several days and nights at the reserve taking part in outdoor activities, nature studies and tree planting.

Customers can request a certificate showing they have planted a tree at this beautiful location. We advocate tree planting as a positive starter for people to become generally aware of climate change issues.
