Priestley College is using a web host that is 100% sustainable.

Krystal provides ‘100% green web hosting without the sacrifice’ and is on a mission to put an end to the damaging days of web hosting.

It wants to show that ‘great tech doesn’t always mean bad for the planet’ despite the internet being one of the most carbon-polluting industries on the planet.

It consumes an estimated 416.2TWh of energy per year – more than the entire United Kingdom (Source: Website Carbon).

It’s a fast-growing industry, but slow to change: most of this power is still generated from fossil fuel sources.

In 2017 Krystal became one of the first website hosts to be powered by 100% renewable electricity from the sun, wind and sea – meaning a direct relationship between its UK datacentre and Ecotricity to power the facility with energy generated by 100% renewable sources.

As the company has expanded into additional facilities around the world it has made sure to be powered entirely by renewable energy.
