Abstract:The sheer volume of websites on the Internet facilitates an equally large amount of DNS queries, which play a significant part in the carbon footprint of DNS hosting services. Green hosting, which addresses this issue, refers to hosting providers on the web who power their service with renewable energy, such as solar power or wind power. Alongside websites hosted by renewable energy, other approaches to green hosting also include green marketing, where the product being marketed or its means of production is considered environmentally safe; and carbon offsetting, where green certificates are bought to offset carbon emissions. Considering the importance of sustainability, this research will determine when and how consistently websites adopted green hosting between the years of 2021 and 2024, by analyzing biweekly snapshots from the Green Web Foundation’s dataset.
