The energy consumption of web hosting is one of the common criticisms of ecommerce. For a website to be made available to its users it has to be run on a computer called a server, which has to be turned on and cooled 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This can use huge amounts of electricity and therefore contribute to global warming. However, there are a number of measures that can be taken to reduce this effect.
