Best Cheap Affordable Web Hosting

In October 2009, US Infrastructure Magazine did a study on data centers and compiled some interesting facts.

• Between 2000 and 2005, the energy consumed by large data centers doubled worldwide.
• In 2006, online data centers in the US accounted for 1.5 percent of the entire country’s electricity use.
• 25% of the power needed to operate a data center goes towards air conditioning to keep the servers from over-heating.

The good news is, more data centers are turning to green energy, mainly wind and solar, to power their operations.
