If the eco-friendly smart people had their way (& they most likely will), then very soon the power of the Sun would be beaming out of your systems & would be at your fingertips. This is what some of the more brilliant minds have planned for the future of web hosting.
With a growing need for space in the cyber universe & an ever expanding digital frontier, we need more & more energy to maintain the domains. With the rapidly increasing growth of online sites, it becomes essential that we harness the energy sufficient to sustain it. According to a survey, the energy needs of data centers have doubled from 2000 to 2005. Not surprisingly, that is equal to energy production of 14 power plants.
So how can we help the cause? Well, just try choosing a web-hosting company that is conscious environmentally & works on solar-powered web hosting. Such a list includes so far just 9 solar-powered web-hosting companies. They are AISO, Athenaeum, Atypica, Eco Web Design, Greenest Host, Green Web Host, Planetmind Internet works, Solar Host & Thinkhost. All these companies are spread across the world, which is a good sign as it shows that the awareness is not limited to a certain region.
