Eco-friendly Dedicated Servers

Don't let older hardware gather dust and end up in landfills! Put it to good use and be rewarded with a tree planted in your name.

Sounds great? Here's our plan: We get refurbished hardware with energy-efficient CPUs and plant a tree for everyone that places an order. Plus, you'll receive a photo of your tree!

Features:

• All CPUs have been designed to be energy-efficient and have a TDP of 35W
• The CPUs also come with an integrated graphics unit (iGPU) that has Intel® Quick Sync Video (QSV). This makes them great for video transcoding.
• Servers are ran on 100% Green Energy.

Payment methods: Stripe (Card), PayPal, Crypto (BTC, ETH, LTC, USDT, USDC & TUSD)

We know not everybody wants to pay upfront for 3/6/12 months so we'll also add a monthly billing option if we have unsold servers in stock (we will still plant trees for monthly customers).
If you want to go with monthly billing, please check the order form for availability.

Disclaimer: We do not handle the tree planting ourselves, this is done by a non-profit association in Romania.

So when customer cancels, will the tree be cancelled as well?

Probably cancellation of the tree would be sooner because winter is coming. And romanian people needs wood for the fire Aka post borat gif dancing

Nope! The tree gets to live forever! (or at least until Putin bombs Romania too)

We're testing out a system for this but we can't promise it until it's completely stable. My current guess is that yes, it will be available.

1 cancellation = 1 tree gets torched

In what location will the trees be planted? Pics of the tree center, or you're just another basement host to me! /s

I sure hope that tree is GDPR ignored. Anyways, what's with the pricing? ~$6.50 more per month for 512GB extra disk and weaker CPU (#2 vs. #4)? With #1 vs. #3 the ~$10/m premium at least gets you 2 extra cores (none of these CPUs seems to have HT) and 2000 multicore passmark points, which definitely is something considering the type of setup. Still the most depressing thing is that all of them come with yolo raid.

The trees will be planted in different locations across Romania

Prices are related to the price we pay for the hardware. We'll have to check which servers support a secondary disk and add that to our website. Thanks for pointing it out!

Tree planting in Romania . I would believe more in getting RAM from swap than this. And eco wave is so 1995. I recall the planet had this fuss with “you buy server - we plant tree”. That forrest was never found.

I hope you don't have any offerings in France.. Especially in Strasbourg's area xD

If Romania had any more trees, Transylvania would become Cisylvania. If the whole country is forest, there is no forest to cross.
