Read all about the latest news at Hipposerve

Being Eco Certified isn’t just a fancy title; it’s a huge step forward in our mission to make the internet a cleaner, greener place., not only for us, but also our customers. That is why we are really proud to achieve this certification.

What is the Green Web Foundation?

The Green Web Foundation is on a mission to make the internet fossil-free by 2030. Their certification process is no joke—they meticulously check whether hosting providers and digital services are genuinely powered by renewable energy. Only the good guys make the cut, and we’re chuffed to say Hipposerve is now part of this elite, eco-friendly club.

Being listed in the Green Web Directory means we’re not just talking the talk—we’re walking the walk (in sustainably sourced shoes, of course). The Green Web Foundation verifies the energy sources of data centres to ensure they meet strict sustainability criteria, and we passed with flying (green) colours.

Why Sustainability is a Big Deal for Hipposerve

Let’s be real—the internet is a bit of an energy hog. Data centres worldwide guzzle up electricity, and if they’re running on fossil fuels, that’s bad news for the planet. That’s why we’re all-in on sustainability, making it a core pillar of everything we do.
