 Canadian Web Hosting is concerned about the environment and strives to be a more environmentally conscious web hosting company.
As a web hosting provider, keeping servers running 24/7 requires a high level of power consumption.
We've made a decision to decrease our carbon footprint by joining Green Business Bureau, using energy efficient servers and
providing our customers an alternative to dedicated servers by using new technologies like virtual private servers.

Instead of using generic 2U servers running inefficient power supply and cpus, Canadian Web Hosting has slowly upgraded to energy efficient
Supermicro 1U servers. These servers contain high efficient power supplies (90%+ efficiency, greatly reduce power losses) and low voltage cpus such as Intel 5500 series. Intel Intelligent Power Technology efficiently manages energy expense by scaling power consumption to workload.

Virtual private server is a method of splitting a server. Each virtual server can run its own full-fledged operating system, and each server can be independently rebooted. By offering new technologies like virtual private servers, we can now offer customers a choice of dedicated-like environments without actually building a new server. Customers are given virtual private servers and all are hosted on one hardware server. This decreases the carbon footprint as only one server is needed.
