The term "Unlimited" is commonly used by the hosting industry to denote that your website(s) will be provided as much storage or bandwidth as they need. Unlike many hosting shared providers, Webnames partition our servers equally. When someone signs up for a hosting plan, they get allocated their own section of a server dedicated entirely to them, and them only. If a hosting customer maximizes their allocated space, they can simply request additional storage from Webnames' Customer Service team as per our As Much As You Need (AMAYN) policy. Read more about What Unlimited Hosting Means and How It Works and refer to our Hosting Terms and Conditions for complete details.

Green hosting is a website hosting service that makes efforts to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) to be more sustainable and have a lower environmental impact. There are several ways of achieving greener hosting and offsetting carbon, including utilizing data centres that are powered by renewable energy, offsetting carbon through renewable energy credits or actions such as planting trees.

Webnames data centres are not powered by carbon-emitting energy sources such as gas or coal. Like many industries in Canada, our services are powered by renewable hydroelectricity generated within British Columbia. Making use of technologies such as Solid State Drives (SSD) and closed glycol loop chilled water for datacentre cooling instead of air conditioning systems which require significant power further reduces climate impact.
