Green Web Hosting
Web Wiz is one of the leading green web hosting providers.
At Web Wiz, we don't just offset our carbon emissions we also take a variety of measures to have net-zero carbon emissions.
Supporting Conservation
 We have been supporting World Land Trust since 2010, currently, through their buy an acre programme, to preserve and restore a quarter-an-acre each month of wildlife habitats under imminent threat of destruction [BaA Certificate]. Our contributions to World Land Trust have helped to protect several reserves across Ecuador including the Río Canandé Reserve in the wet Choco and the dry forests at Laipuna.

Solar Powered
The most significant way that we are reducing our carbon footprint is by generating our own renewable electricity from on-site array of Solar Panels, which powers our green data centre and office. The solar panels can provide up to 80% of the electricity that we use over a year.
 100% Renewable Energy
Additional electricity not produced from on-site solar power comes from our electricity provider Good Energy, with 100% of their electricity being supplied from their local UK renewable generators.
 Tesla Solar Energy Storage
When the Sun goes down, on-site solar power generation stops, but that does not mean we cannot use the electricity generated in the day time. Thanks to our Tesla energy storage systems, we can store excess solar energy to power our data centre overnight.
 Direct Air Cooling & Heat Recovery
The cool British climate in winter allows us to use outside air to cool our data centre, with the warm air generated by our servers used to heat our offices.
 Energy-Efficient Servers
To reduce the amount of power consumed by our servers, we choose to build each server in-house for the job at hand. By utilising energy-efficient and low voltage components, we can reduce our energy usage by up to 80% compared to regular off-the-shelf servers.
 Server Virtualisation
To further reduce our carbon emissions, we use server virtualisation, which has environmental advantages as it reduces the amount of physical hardware we require by 90%, while also improving reliability and uptime.
 Carbon Neutral
While we aim to have a zero-carbon footprint, we still produce a tiny amount of CO2 each year. From 2020 to 2021, this was just 0.3 tonnes which we offset three times as much via Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) approved projects to reduce deforestation in the Amazonian Rainforest, Brazil. In addition, we offset the equivalent amount of carbon through local tree-planting projects. [Carbon Neutral Certificate]
 Green Data Centre
Completed in May 2018
our data centre is owned and operated by ourselves allowing us to build from the design stage to construction an ecological data centre. Read more about our Green Data Centre.
