Are droplets powered with green energy?

Posted on April 20, 2015

Hello,

I want to save the environment. For my future projects I’ll use only VPS servers powered with 100% green energy. So do you offer data centers powered with green energy?

What? Still no answer? My company has a policy to only use green energy…

After watching a talk from Tom Greenwood at State of the Browser (associated blog post) - We decided to check all of our hosts.

We ran our Digital Ocean sites through a few checkers. thegreenwebfoundation.org is one. And we did a few other checks too. It appears that Digital Ocean is not run on green energy.

This would be important to me too. maybe we should make some pressure. If customers don’t demand it they will do nothing.
