Eco-friendly by default
There is no green tier here. Every plan uses the same renewable infrastructure, the same Ecologi offsetting and the same datacentre standards, whether the site is a personal project or an enterprise platform. We fund the offsetting; you are not charged extra for it.
The evidence
100% renewable energy
Every datacentre we use runs on 100% renewable energy - wind, solar, and hydropower - paired with energy-efficient hardware. We chose our partners specifically for their renewable commitments.
Ecologi carbon offsetting
5% of every hosting fee committed to Ecologi tree planting and verified carbon offsets. Typically four or more trees per customer per month, at no additional cost to you.

FAQs
These are the questions sustainability-minded customers and procurement teams raise most. Anything not covered, ask us and we will answer it directly.
No. Renewable infrastructure, Ecologi carbon offsetting, and Green Web Foundation certification come standard on every UmbHost plan - from static hosting through enterprise dedicated infrastructure. There is no separate "green tier" you pay extra for.
The 5% of hosting fees we commit to Ecologi tree planting comes out of our margin, not yours.
Our datacentre partners commit publicly to 100% renewable supply, evidenced either by contracts held directly with renewable generators or by certified guarantees of origin. The Green Web Foundation independently verifies us as a green hosting provider, auditing infrastructure against the renewable claims made for it.
If you need supplier sustainability evidence for a tender or audit response, ask and we will send the documentation.
Ecologi carbon offsetting runs through verified offset projects - primarily reforestation in regions with strong forestry governance, plus methane capture, renewable energy projects in developing markets, and verified carbon credits from Gold Standard, VCS, and other recognised certification schemes.
We commit 5% of every hosting fee to these offsets, calculated as roughly four or more trees per customer per month.
Around 2% of global energy consumption goes on web hosting, a figure comparable to the whole aviation industry. Most generalist providers make no renewable commitment at all, so the average website runs on whatever combination of fossil fuels, nuclear and renewables the local grid happens to supply.
A renewable-powered host does not make a site carbon-neutral on its own, but it removes a measurable share of the operational footprint and supports the transition. Under CSRD and Scope 3 reporting, where a site is hosted is now a documented procurement decision.
