Digital Ocean Removed from The Green Hosting Directory.

Posted on October 1, 2024

When we initially joined Digital Ocean, it was confirmed that the LON1 and AMS3 Equinix data centres ran off renewable energy. This was also outlined in the directory by the Green Web Foundation.

Although, it seems that Digital Ocean haven’t submitted their latest ESG credentials causing them to be removed and being listed has using “Fossil Fuel Energy” across their whole infrastructure.

Is there plans to re-submit information to get this corrected? As a sustainable website development agency, we can’t be using data centres that run off fossil fuel based energy as it goes against our own ESG practises. I assume this is the case for many others, as every other provided has submitted their information, it seems Digital Ocean is the only provider that hasn’t.
