Green hosting At cloud68.co we take our responsibility towards environmental protection seriously. Taking responsibility for the environment means there is an increasing need to obtain energy from renewable sources. Our third party provider uses energy from renewable sources to power the servers in its data centers. Energy from hydropower: Hetzner, our German based third party provider, uses hydropower at the data center park where the servers operate. Their environmental partner is Energiedienst AG, a TÜV certified company that generates green energy from 100 percent carbon dioxide-free and environmentally-friendly hydropower. Energy-efficient hardware: For years, our provider has focused its investment decisions based on energy efficiency. Power usage of hardware and network components has been determined by in-house measurement and used as a fundamental criterion in the selection of components.
