Green (Carbon Neutral) Australian web hosting

Anchor is committed to reducing the effects of our business and the services that we provide on the environment and limiting our contribution to global warming.

Whilst it's not immediately visible the Internet is a huge consumer of electricity. Every time you search the web and browse content you're taking data from machines that operate in densley stacked rooms filled with computers which have huge power requirements and produce enormous amounts of heat. We estimate that Anchor alone generates more than 30 times more co2 than the average Australian.

We've made some simple changes to the way in which we operate which make a difference.

  • Our office operates on 100% reneweable energy
  • All old electronic equipement is properly recycled via e-waste programs
  • All workstations are turned off or put into sleep mode overnight
  • All monitors are switched off when not in use
  • Office air-conditioning is used infrequently and only in extremes of temperature
  • Energy efficient lighting is used throughout the office
  • All paper and glass waste is recycled

Anchor is proud to offer green carbon neutral website and dedicated server hosting to our Australian clients as an optional upgrade on all services. This service is provided by offsetting the co2 output produced by your hosting via Climate Friendly's Voluntary Carbon Standard product.
