At ReallyGoodHost.com, we believe that great hosting services can and should support a better future. That’s why we’ve integrated both social and environmental responsibility into the core of everything we do. From reducing our carbon footprint to supporting non-profit organizations, here are some of the impactful programs we’re rolling out to ensure our hosting services benefit not only our customers but the world at large.

Committed B-Corp Certification

We’re taking concrete steps to achieve B-Corp certification, formalizing our dedication to balancing purpose and profit. Our path to becoming a Certified B Corporation means meeting the highest standards of social and environmental responsibility, accountability, and transparency—perfectly aligning with our mission to create a positive impact for our customers, communities, and the planet.

Green Hosting Initiative

Our commitment to sustainability starts with prioritizing carbon reduction. We contribute a percentage of our profits to offset emissions through reliable carbon offset programs and strive to use renewable energy for our operations whenever possible. By choosing ReallyGoodHost.com, you’re choosing a hosting provider dedicated to reducing its environmental footprint.

We Plant Trees For Every New Account

Through our Tree Planting for Hosting program, we’re committed to giving back to the planet. For every new hosting account or yearly renewal, we plant a tree in collaboration with organizations like Ecologi, Trees for the Future or One Tree Planted. This means that every time you grow your online presence with us, we help grow forests that benefit the environment and support global biodiversity.

Energy-Efficient Data Centers

Our efforts to go green don’t stop at renewable energy. We’ve invested in Low-Energy Data Centers by implementing the latest energy-efficient technologies, including cutting-edge cooling systems and resource-optimized servers. Not only does this reduce our power consumption, but it also allows us to pass those savings on to you in the form of more efficient and affordable hosting.

Free Hosting for Charities

As part of our social responsibility efforts, we’ve launched a Charity Hosting Program, providing free or deeply discounted hosting to non-profit organizations, charities, and social enterprises. These organizations work tirelessly for causes that matter—from environmental advocacy to social justice—and we want to ensure they have the reliable, secure hosting they need to succeed.

Eco-Friendly Web Development

Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond our own operations. Through our Eco-Friendly Web Development initiative, we encourage customers to adopt web designs that minimize their resource consumption. We provide helpful guides and tools to optimize websites for lower energy usage, reducing the overall impact of your online presence.

Responsible Supply Chain Policy

Sustainability isn’t just about what we do—it’s about who we work with. Our Responsible Supply Chain Policy ensures that all of our suppliers and partners meet strict environmental and ethical standards. By making sure that our data centers, hardware providers, and other partners share our values, we’re ensuring that every aspect of our services aligns with our commitment to doing good.

Supporting Technology that Makes a Difference

We believe in the power of technology to spark positive change. That’s why we set aside a portion of our profits to support initiatives using tech to tackle social and environmental challenges. Through contributions and discounted services, we aim to accelerate innovative projects that are driving real impact.

Employee Volunteering Program

We understand that real impact comes from hands-on work, which is why our employees receive paid time off to volunteer for environmental or social causes. From participating in local environmental cleanups to offering tech expertise to underserved communities, we’re actively contributing to the social and environmental well-being of the communities we serve.

Leading the Way in Ethical and Sustainable Web Hosting

We’re want to be more than just a hosting provider—we want to be really good and make a positive difference in the world. That’s why we’re on the path to B-Corp certification, a prestigious designation for businesses that prioritize social and environmental responsibility. By integrating sustainability, transparency, and ethical practices into everything we do, we’re striving to provide hosting services that not only meet your needs but also benefit people and the planet.

What is B-Corp Certification?

B-Corp certification is a globally recognized benchmark for companies committed to using business as a force for good. The certification evaluates companies on their impact in five key areas:

Why It’s Important

Attaining B-Corp certification means demonstrating that our services are not just high-quality but also socially and environmentally responsible. Hosting services rely heavily on data centers and energy consumption, so it’s critical that we operate sustainably. Certification will verify that we’re taking the right steps to reduce our environmental footprint and make a lasting, positive impact.

Steps We’re Taking

Energy-Efficient Data Centers: We’re reducing energy consumption by utilizing low-energy servers and state-of-the-art cooling technologies.

Carbon Offset Programs: We invest in carbon offset programs to balance our emissions, ensuring our hosting services are as eco-friendly as possible.

Becoming a Public Benefit Entity This formalizes our mission to balance profit with purpose. This legal step ensures that we’re held accountable to delivering tangible benefits to society and the environment alongside our business goals.

Tree Planting for Hosting: For every new hosting account, we plant a tree in partnership with trusted environmental organizations, contributing to reforestation efforts worldwide.

Charity Hosting Program: We offer free and discounted hosting for non-profits and charitable organizations that are making a difference.

Transparent Business Practices: As part of our commitment to transparency, we’ll continue publishing reports on our social and environmental progress, ensuring our customers know the impact of their choice to host with us.

We’re already implementing key initiatives that align with B-Corp principles, and here’s how we’re moving forward:
