Ensuring the digital part of your supply chain is climate positive

Did you know?

According to online carbon calculator Website Carbon, the average website produces 1.76g of CO2 for every page view; so a site with 10,000 page views per month emits 211kg of CO2 every year.
That’s equivalent to:

As much CO2 as boiling water for 28,591 cups of tea

Emitting the amount of carbon that 10.7 trees absorb in a year

500.41Kwh energy which is enough electricity to drive an electric car 3,524km or from Bristol to Cairo.

Switching to our Climate Positive Website Care Plan is one of the quickest and easiest ways to reduce your company’s carbon footprint.

Like you, we are committed to running our business sustainably and making a positive impact in the world.

Our web hosting achieves climate positivity through a couple of different ways:

  1. Our servers are run on 100% renewable electricity
  2. Both our server providers and Global Bay more than offset our business emissions by planting trees and funding carbon removal projects around the world through Ecologi

Why choose Global Bay’s Climate Positive Website Care Plan?

Once your website is built, it still needs looking after. Security, performance, 24/7 monitoring, backups, and much more is needed to keep your website performing at its best.

Our Climate Positive Website Care Plan brings together everything that you need to have a fast loading, super secure website that is good for your business and good for the planet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Website hosting means the location where the files and data for your website are stored. These can be stored on physical servers or cloud servers. Every website needs to be hosted somewhere for people to be able to access it.

Website management means the work undertaken by software engineers to keep your website fast, safe and secure. This includes installing plugin and theme updates as well as checking that these updates haven’t caused any problems on your website.

Purchasing a hosting plan gives you somewhere to keep your website data and files, but it doesn’t necessarily protect those files from malware or hackers. Cheap hosting plans tend to have enticing monthly deals but often contain hidden charges for SSL Certification and other security add-ons which we include as standard. No one is looking after your website to ensure that it is protected.

Opting for a hosting and website management package ensures that you have a fast, reliable and secure website. The website is hosted and the management means that an expert software engineer updates your website each month with the latest plugin, themes and security updates. This keeps your website fully protected from known threats.

The team that look after Global Bay’s servers is Climate Positive. They achieve this because 100% of their power usage comes from renewable energy sources. If that wasn’t enough, they are also offsetting what their carbon emissions would have been were they not using renewable energy sources AND they have committed to offsetting all of the carbon that they’ve created in the 20 years since they launched their business! Now that’s what we call CLIMATE POSITIVE ACTION! You can view our Climate Positive contribution at Ecologi.

Lots of hosting companies hook you in with a low headline price which is exclusively for the hosting space. However, they charge extra for email addresses, SSL certificates etc. which are essential for running your business and keeping your website secure, so by the end of the year, you can end up paying hundreds of pounds for your web hosting, not the advertised £3.99/month.

At Global Bay we believe in being transparent, open and honest, as well as being excellent. Our packages have no hidden costs. Plus, you get a human software engineer updating your website security every month and testing that your website works after.

We provide everything you need to run a reliable, fast and secure website with no sneaky extra costs, so you can clearly budget for the year ahead and get on with running your business.

Yes. We want to provide excellent value to your business, so if you have more than one website we offer discounts on a sliding scale depending on how many you choose to host with us. Get in touch with us to discover how much you could save.
Global Bay is here to support you as your business grows. You can upgrade your website managed hosting package at any time to suit your needs.

No. At Global Bay we pride ourselves on delivering excellence to our clients. After a decade of building websites and website hosting experience, we know that the fastest and most secure websites are managed with monthly security updates delivered by actual humans!
