Carbon-Neutral Web Hosting
Your website, powered by the sun, wind, and sea. Forecast Cloud delivers blazing-fast managed hosting on 100% renewable energy — without compromise on speed, security, or support.
Why your hosting choice matters.
Every website, database, and digital workload runs on physical infrastructure that demands energy. From data centres to networking hardware, the internet’s environmental footprint is expanding rapidly.
Today, the global ICT sector accounts for an estimated 2–4% of worldwide electricity consumption (Source: Ericsson) — rivalling the aviation industry. Much of that power still comes from fossil fuels.
Forecast Cloud by Crouch End Media exists because we believe hosting should be part of the solution, not the problem. Choosing green hosting is one of the simplest steps any business can take to shrink its digital carbon footprint — without sacrificing an ounce of performance.
Just get in touch and we’ll manage the rest — you don’t need to be technical!

Fully managed, zero hassle.
Forecast Cloud isn’t self-service hosting with a green badge. It’s a fully managed service from Crouch End Media, a web development studio established in North London since 2013.
We handle the server administration, security hardening, software updates, backups, and performance optimisation. You get a single monthly fee with no surprise bandwidth charges or usage limits — just reliable, fast, sustainable hosting.
Need help with a WordPress issue? Want to spin up a staging site before a big launch? That’s what we’re here for. Your hosting is our responsibility, and we take it seriously.
Planted to offset carbon
And counting, month by month...
Hosting that plants real trees.
Reforestation is woven into every Forecast Cloud account. For each active hosting customer, we plant a tree every month through verified global reforestation partnerships. These aren’t token gestures — they rebuild communities, restore natural habitats, and sequester carbon for decades to come.
Our infrastructure partner has planted over 4 million trees to date through organisations including Veritree, Ecologi, and Trees for Life, and has pledged to reach one billion by 2030 under the World Economic Forum’s 1t.org initiative.
We also offset the carbon footprint of every team member — not just during their time with us, but retroactively covering their lifetime emissions before joining.
Powered by 100% renewable energy.
Forecast Cloud infrastructure draws power directly from certified renewable sources — solar, wind, and hydroelectric — rather than relying on carbon offsets alone. Every facility we operate from is selected for its commitment to energy efficiency and sustainability.
East London, United Kingdom
Primary UK facility
Our flagship UK data centre is a brand-new, purpose-built facility in East London. With a PUE of just 1.10, only 5% of energy goes to non-computing overhead like cooling and power distribution. The remaining 95% reaches the servers directly — among the most efficient ratings in the industry.
Phoenix, AZ & Edison, NJ
US & Amsterdam via Iron Mountain
For clients requiring US-based or European presence, we operate from Iron Mountain’s enterprise-grade facilities. With decades of experience in high-security business services, these locations deliver a PUE of 1.20 while meeting the same renewable energy commitments.
Green and fast.
No compromise.
Genuine renewable energy powering every request your site serves — not carbon offsets as a substitute.
Backed by real commitments.
Sustainability isn’t a marketing label — it’s embedded in our operations through verified partnerships and public pledges. Forecast Cloud infrastructure is backed by these organisations and initiatives:
B Corporation
Certified B Corp since 2023, embedding positive social and environmental impact into our legal mission.
1% for the Planet
At least 1% of revenue donated annually to environmental organisations driving real change worldwide.
SME Climate Hub
Committed to the UN Race to Zero: halving emissions by 2030 and reaching net zero by 2050.
Veritree Reforestation
Over 3,000,000 trees planted through Veritree, creating jobs and restoring ecosystems at scale.
Ecologi
Over 1,000,000 additional trees planted worldwide, plus Gold Standard carbon reduction projects.
1t.org / WEF
Pledged to protect and plant one billion trees by 2030 through the World Economic Forum initiative.
Common questions.
How is Forecast Cloud different from standard hosting?
Every Forecast Cloud server draws power exclusively from certified renewable sources — wind, solar, and hydroelectric. Beyond clean energy, our infrastructure partner holds B Corp certification, plants trees for every active account, and operates data centres with a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) as low as 1.10. You get enterprise-grade performance with a genuinely lower carbon footprint.
Will my website load as fast as on conventional hosting?
Faster, in most cases. We deploy on NVMe solid-state drives, LiteSpeed web servers with built-in page caching, and a worldwide CDN. The “green” part refers to the energy source powering the hardware — the hardware itself is identical to (or better than) what premium conventional hosts use.
Do you handle site migrations?
Yes. Every plan includes a free, fully managed migration. Our team transfers your files, databases, email accounts, and DNS records with near-zero downtime — typically just a few minutes during the final DNS propagation window.
Is professional email included?
All plans include email hosting on your own domain. Create addresses like hello@yourdomain.com and access them through webmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, or any IMAP/POP3 client on desktop and mobile.
What support can I expect?
Forecast Cloud is fully managed by the Crouch End Media team based in London. We handle server maintenance, security patching, WordPress core and plugin updates, performance tuning, and troubleshooting — so you can concentrate on running your business.
Are there hidden fees or overage charges?
None. Each plan is a single, predictable monthly fee. There are no bandwidth surcharges, no per-email costs, and no surprise line items. If your needs grow, upgrade to a higher tier at any time — we will pro-rate the difference.
Where are the data centres located?
Our primary UK facility is in East London with an industry-leading PUE of 1.10 — meaning 95% of energy reaches the servers directly. We also operate from US locations in Phoenix, Arizona and Edison, New Jersey via Iron Mountain, with a PUE of 1.20. All facilities run on renewable energy.
What does PUE mean?
PUE stands for Power Usage Effectiveness. It measures how efficiently a data centre uses energy — specifically, the ratio of total facility energy to the energy delivered to IT equipment. A perfect score is 1.0. Our UK data centre achieves 1.10, which is among the best in the industry. Lower PUE means less energy wasted on cooling, lighting, and other overhead.
