We're Green Web Hosts!
Green web hosting refers to a website host who is proactive about providing an environmentally friendly method of hosting their customers websites, while reducing their own hosting carbon footprint.
We have achieved this through two distinct actions: choosing an environmentally friendly data centre service and purchasing excess carbon offsets to obtain a VER or carbon offset certificate.
This means that when you use our web hosting, you too have a green website and can promote this to your customers and clients!
Solving Rural Delivery Problems
One of the things we provide our merchants is free rural delivery address detection. We identify rural addresses, and ensure the customer pays the correct courier fees, and hide any shipping options not relevant to a rural customer.
We have made a list of other issues that you may face when sending to a rural address, and given you some ideas of what other merchants have done to reduce these. For example, limiting delivery areas for fresh food, due to rising delivery times.
Take a read of our article for help in identifying and solving rural delivery issues.
