Servers are remote computers that host websites. They use a tremendous amount of energy to run 24/7 and keep the internet alive. A 50,000-square-foot server operation consumes about 4 megawatts of power per day, or the energy equivalent of 57 barrels of oil. Server farms (large scale web hosting operations) create so much heat that they are typically built in places with cooler climates (like Greenland) to mitigate electricity costs.

This website is hosted by a local southern California company that powers its servers with solar panels and is committed to environmentally sound business practices. AISO.net is located in Lomoland, one of the sunniest parts of California. They fuel their operation with the clean and abundant energy of the sun.
