Green Hosting News

We are 20 years old!

9th Oct 2024

Our business is officially 20 years old! In 2004, two twenty-somethings embarked on a new adventure of entrepreneurship. After having worked in the IT training industry and the voluntary and education sectors we were motivated and inspired by seeing what can be achived when passionate people want to bring about positive change and by wanting to work our own way.

Two decades later and our core values are the same. We are delighted to still be here, celebrating our achievements and the sustainable brands, charities and ethical individuals that we have worked with during that time, via our web design and green web hosting services.

We asked our clients to help us mark this special milestone by sharing a message or memorable moment. You sent in some really heartwarming words which we have published on our anniversary gallery wall.

Why web designers love Green Hosting

3rd Oct 2024

Did you know that some of our clients have come to us via their web designer?

A picture of a hands on a laptop with code on the screen alongside the text of a testimonial included in this articleEthical web designers choose Green Hosting because they understand the absolute importance of reliability and excellent support. It isn’t just about using an environmentally and socially responsible service, its fundamental to making sure their clients feel confident in them and their business.

We work in both web design and web hosting, developing websites for our own clients in a range of sectors. So we understand the pressures and concerns that a designer may face. With this experience we can help with some of the more hosting specific technicalities that designers may encounter when creating sites for their clients.  

If you’re a web designer who wants to align with other ethical businesses and be a part of a positive movement towards a greener internet then drop us a line. Find out what we offer, our impact and the great company you and your clients would keep, alongside the other amazing individuals and organisations who already work with us year after year.

Here's some feedback from web designers who have chosen Green Hosting for their clients…

Thinking of transferring your website to Green Hosting?

15th Aug 2024

We've had a flurry of new clients lately who have opted to transfer their website from their current hosting provider to us at Green Hosting, often on the recommendation of our existing clients. This is wonderful! We are delighted to welcome more fantastic individuals and organisations who want their websites to be powered by renewable electricity.

If you're thinking of transferring your website to Green Hosting, don't worry, we've got you! We understand that putting your website into someone else's hands can be a worrying prospect and that's why we work hard to make it as quick, smooth and simple as possible, keeping you informed along the way.

We wrote an article on how to prepare for your move to Green Hosting. It includes answers to questions about timing, prices, what and information to gather beforehand and how to get started. If there's anything at all that you'd like to know, please get in touch.

Here's some great feedback from one of newest clients who used our website transfer service:

"Green Hosting was recommended to me by a friend and I can see why. The team made what can be a daunting task of switching hosting effortless. They helped transfer my website quickly and with a great level of communication. The price for the hosting is brilliant and I'm glad that the company supports organisations doing work to make the world a better place. I couldn't recommend their services more highly. Thank you Green Hosting."
Amy Nguyen - Sustainable & Social
