‘Green Hosting’
Friday, June 18th, 2010
Green Web Hosting on our Green Grid is a newer technology that is sometimes referred to as “Clustered Computing”. In the Green Grid hosting environment, several servers are linked together at the hardware level and allows them to “share” their resources throughout the Green Grid at the software/OS level. By doing this, server resources are not wasted as they wait to be used or wasted as they have to sit idle in case the resources are needed. Our Green Grid supports our Green Web Hosting services.
In a typical example by a large corporation with a of a traditional stand alone server environment to a Green Grid type setup, the corporation was able to reduce the amount of servers used from 30 to 9! These new servers also are running energy star rated products unlike their predecessors. On top of the reduction of energy used, GeekHosting.com is a Carbon Neutral company, not by buying “Carbon Credits,” but by planting thousands upon thousands of trees to offset our carbon footprint. (We feel this is a much more pro-active way to save the environment and feel very strongly against the promotion of “Carbon Credits”)
Say goodbye to data loss and extended downtime. All data in the Green Grid is automatically mirrored across the grid it resides on. When a server fails, all your data remains available and any affected appliances are automatically restarted elsewhere on the grid. This means your application will be back online within minutes, not hours or days. Best of all, it all happens automatically.

Windows Hyper-V is here!
That’s right, we have been talking a bit lately about the Window Hyper-V hosting and how GeekHosting.com has been offering these new solutions to one and all. GeekHosting.com is beyond excited to finally offer all of our customers and the rest of the world something we have been testing and working on for quite some time. Windows Hyper-V was an amazing release and allowed us to bring you the best possible solution without worrying about overselling or server bottlenecks. Geek Hyper-VDS is a solution that really fits every company’s needs. Whether you are the eCommerce site that needs security of your own server but just don’t have the budget to pull it off, or if you are the major corporation that needs multiple instances with the security and the clustered blanket,GeekHosting.com has the right answer for all your needs.
But what exactly is Microsoft Hyper-V technology?
Hyper-V is a virtualization platform that provides reliable and scalable platform capabilities along with a single set of integrated management tools to manage both physical and virtual resources. Hyper-V is a thin layer of software between the bare metal hardware and the Operating System (OS) that allows multiple instances of an OS to run (virtual machines), unmodified, on a single physical server at the same time. Hyper-V virtual machines are scalable, reliable and highly available and can be managed from a central management interface. A key feature of Hyper-V is the virtualization of multiple operating systems, including Windows and Linux, on the same server, allowing users to consolidate systems into a single environment without losing control, security or performance. This is a true hypervisor-based platform. Hyper-V also offers large memory support and provides backup/restore, system snapshots and easy transition of virtual servers from one physical server to another.

Green Hosting for your website is often overlooked for businesses who are striving to go green in their business practices. Many business hosting choices are out there, and most hosting companies haven’t taken the green initiative seriously in their own practices. Geek Hosting is for businesses who are wanting to go green. Geek Hosting is the first hosting company to be a Green Certified Business through the Green Business League and with good reason. We have already taken the honest steps to be 100% Carbon Neutral by not by buying “Carbon Credits” but by being responsible for the planting of thousands of trees to offset our carbon footprint. These trees over the course of their lives will use carbon to produce oxygen, and oxygen reduces our ozone issues. This is a proactive green business choice, not part of a reaction to the green movement where we simply want to hang a Green Business Certification plaque on our wall. The more trees we put back into the ground, the better the world is in the future. The more businesses who place their own website hosting into Geek Hosting’s hands, the more trees we will plant on their behalf. It’s really that simple, it’s green simple!
Earning our Green Business Certification is the decision we made regardless of how many clients we have. Geek Hosting feels the technological side of Green is a must for any business who themselves are going through a Green Business Certification process. Without leading hosting companies such as Geek Hosting taking this important step to better our planet, the tech companies will continue to ignore what traditional companies are striving to achieve. Going Green is not a fashion or an initiative we as a responsible business should take for granted. Green Hosting for Green Business is one of the smartest, and responsible, decisions your business will make. Go Green!
