At Frank und Freunde, it has always been our goal that everything we program and design - our interfaces, websites and web business solutions - will still be up to date in five or ten years' time. That is our understanding of sustainable web solutions. In our industry, this also includes energy consumption. Every search query, every click on a link and yes, every visit to your own company website consumes electricity - on average around 0.3 watt hours. That doesn't sound like much individually, but it quickly adds up to an impressive amount of energy consumption.

Our claim: no greenwashing, but truly green hosting

That's why our customers can host 100% sustainably with us if they wish. We operate numerous web servers in various data centers and always pay attention to the ecological concepts of our cooperation partners. They are not only characterized by energy-efficient thinking in the planning of their buildings, but also use 100% renewable energy wherever possible.

Our preferred business data center in Stuttgart has also recently switched to genuine green hosting. This completes the sustainability circle at FUF: developing intelligent solutions that consume little electricity. And cover this lower power requirement with green electricity. For us, green IT means not "buying" climate neutrality and energy efficiency with certificates after the fact.

Saving energy through intelligent technology: virtualization and shared hosting

However, the easiest way to save energy is not to use any in the first place. Thanks to virtualization and cloud services, many hosting services can now be provided for which you would have needed your own server in the past without using it to the full. That's why we at FUF // Frank und Freunde have been offering shared hosting for a long time. This means that the server hardware we operate is fully utilized. This saves money and electricity. And if this electricity is 100 percent green and barely more expensive than conventional hosting, our Managing Director Frank Meier concludes: "So why not do it?"

The FF conclusion

If there is one word that has described our projects since our founding days, then it is "sustainable". From now on, this also applies 100 percent to our hosting. Green hosting is an option that we warmly recommend to our customers. Because it is so affordable. Because it's so easy to host green. And because we take care of everything, so it doesn't cause our customers any additional expense. In short: because it's sustainable.
