VisAbility has become the first South African website host to provide a strong environmentally focused alternative to traditional website hosting. In a recent article on BBC News it was said that the carbon emissions from the internet are now higher than those of all the airlines combined. By offering a carbon neutral hosting alternative we hope to start trend towards the greening of the internet.

Why go green?
Many recent marketing studies have shown that more and more people are taking your business’s environmental policy and contribution into account when choosing a new product or supplier. Your website is often a new prospect’s first impression of your business so it makes good business sense to ensure that that impression shows your commitment to the environment. What’s more, hosting your website and email on our hydro-powered web server may even save you money.

Our hydro-powered clean energy sever
Our German based web server and its data centre are powered exclusively through clean hydro-generated electricity. Our environmental partners, the TUV-certified Natural Energy Ltd., provide the server room with 100% carbon dioxide free electricity generated from running water.

Energy efficient software
We have chosen the AMD Athlon 64 bit processor with Cool ‘n Quite technology for our server. This technology allows the CPU to lower its clock frequency during quieter times to reduce power consumption by up to 15 watts.
