Because they use less energy, ecoservers generate less heat. Data centre cooling costs are greatly reduced because of the lesser amount of energy needed to power air conditioning systems.
A green UPS means the system runs at 91% efficiency - a vast improvement on standard systems. All ecoserver packaging is recycled and we're investing into natural woodland with every ecoserver sold.

make the right choice, switch to green hosting today
Shift your business to green hosting and help reduce your carbon footprint.
Ecoservers from UKFast employ the latest in server technology, drastically reducing energy consumption without compromising speed or performance. Here are six great reasons why you should switch to an Ecoserver today:
- less power
- Dual core processor technology combines two independent processors within the same chip. This requires 40% less energy while delivering twice the performance.
- heat efficiency
- At half the size of a standard server, the Ecoserver casing has been specifically designed to use less material and to create more space between servers in the rack. This allows the heat generated by the server to dissipate more efficiently, thus reducing data centre cooling costs.
- paperless invoicing
- Paperless correspondence reduces our impact on the environment by eliminating wasted paper, and simplifies keeping track of your payments. This includes billing via email with an online control panel so you are in total control of your accounts.
- advanced green UPS
- Our advanced green UPS system runs on one tenth of the standard rate, creating a 91% energy saving. The amount of energy saved by the green UPS is equivalent to switching off 14 3KW electric fires running 24 hours a day 365 days a year.
- natural woodland investment
- At UKFast, we are constantly trying to find ways to reduce our carbon footprint, which is why for every additional 100 ecoservers we sell, we invest into an acre of woodland in Snowdonia.
- recycling
- Taking our social responsibility to the next level, we ensure there is no wastage from our third parties by recycling all our packaging.
