Eco-Friendly Web Hosting

At InMotion, our eco-friendly dedicated servers are designed from the ground up with sustainability in mind. We use energy-efficient hardware such as NVMe SSD storage, Dual/Redundant power supplies, and modern CPU architectures that do more work per watt. We locate servers in data centers that implement advanced cooling technologies and optimize Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) to reduce wasted energy. In addition, we source part of our power from renewable energy and employ green operational practices (e.g. recycling e-waste, efficient servers) to lower environmental impact.

While exact savings depend on your usage pattern (load, storage, bandwidth, etc.), you can expect meaningful reductions relative to legacy or less efficient setups. For example, using energy-efficient power supplies, SSDs rather than spinning disks, and optimized cooling can reduce power draw by 20-40% or more in many cases. InMotion also publicly shares metrics about its green data center efforts, such as lower PUE, partial renewable energy sourcing, and reductions in cooling energy requirements. These improvements translate into lower carbon emissions per unit of computing.

Not necessarily. While some of the green technologies we use (like higher-efficiency power supplies, SSDs, better cooling infrastructure) cost more up front, we design our pricing so that customers get competitive performance at similar cost tiers. You should expect comparable (or superior) performance—faster I/O, lower latency, and high uptime—because eco-efficiency often means using newer, better-quality hardware. Any small premium (if present) is offset by lower operational costs, better reliability, and the environmental benefit. If you’re a large user, the efficiencies might even reduce your total cost of ownership over time.

 Yes, as with any specialized offering, there can be trade-offs. Some possible limitations include:

• Geographic availability: Some data centers may be more advanced in green infrastructure than others; availability of fully “green” server options may vary by location.
• Custom configuration constraints: Certain legacy or very specialized components may be less energy-efficient; in rare cases, ultra-high performance customizations may not align perfectly with maximum efficiency.
• Lead times or cost for certain upgrades: For example, switching to more efficient cooling or renewable power sourcing can require infrastructure investment, which may affect pricing or availability in the short term. 

That said, we aim to minimize these trade-offs. Every dedicated server plan is built on hardware and in facilities that already adhere to strong efficiency standards.

Our sustainability approach is ongoing. Here’s how we stay committed over the long term:

• We continuously monitor data center metrics like PUE (power usage effectiveness) and take steps to improve them.
• We upgrade hardware when newer, more efficient options become available (e.g. more efficient CPUs, SSD improvements, cooling improvements).
• We recycle or repurpose old hardware and responsibly dispose of e-waste.
• We invest in renewable energy sources or purchase green energy credits to offset a portion of our power use.
• We provide regular reports / blog updates on our green data centers and green hosting efforts, so customers can see what improvements we’re making and verify our claims. 

Not at all. We maintain strict performance and reliability standards. Your website runs on powerful hardware that’s tested, optimized, and backed by expert human support.

Yes! Our range of eco-friendly servers provide the same reliable performance for any website, whether you’re running an agency with multiple clients, an online shop, or a high traffic business site.

Yes. These servers are designed to provide a cost-effective solution today, with the flexibility and scalability to grow with your business tomorrow. You get the reliability and performance of premium hardware, without overpaying for unused resources.
