Eco-responsibility (Green IT)

Hosting providers have a crucial role to play in eco-responsibility.

But how can you offer truly "green" accommodation?

At LRob, we apply a simple and effective principle:

optimization ⚙️ = consumption 📉 = performance 📈 = savings 🫰

To achieve this, we use two main levers:

  1. Choice of datacenter and physical machines Modern, eco-efficient infrastructures.
  2. Intelligent server management Optimize every watt to do more with less.

The result: 100% hosting that's green, ultra-fast and affordable. 🚀


Datacenter 100% green 🌿

At LRob, we've chosen an exemplary Hetzner datacenter to take care of your data and our planet.

Greener and more economical? Yes, it's possible!

Energy 100% renewable

Powered by hydroelectricity, our datacenter uses exclusively renewable energy sources.

Optimizing physical servers

Our servers have a modular design, with no superfluous chassis. The result: an immediate reduction of 50 watts per machine, plus savings on materials. It's cheaper and greener, right from the design stage.

Optimum energy efficiency

Our datacenter boasts an exceptional PUE of 1.12.

Note: PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) measures the energy efficiency of data centers. The closer this value is to 1.0, the higher the efficiency.

Thanks to improved heat dissipation, natural air cooling is enough to keep our servers at the right temperature 98% of the time. This means considerable energy savings.

Server optimization by LRob

At LRob, we know that software optimization can make all the difference. By reducing the CPU load by up to 95%, we're able to significantly reduce the power consumption of our servers.

What is the CPU?

The processor (CPU) is the component that consumes the most energy in a server. This is also where LRob has a real impact.

How do we reduce CPU load?
It all starts with the fine-tuning of each server software and the rigorous optimization of each website. But the real stroke of genius comes from our ability to effectively block attacks. This approach not only reduces CPU usage, but also saves energy and physical machines, while delivering far superior performance to most other hosting providers.

Simple server architecture

At LRob, we apply the "KISS" principle: Keep It Simple Stupid.

Why complicate things?
The simpler the architecture, the easier it is to manage, and the less it malfunctions, consumes power and costs. You don't need a cluster of 15 machines to host a site. Our approach? A good, well-configured server is more efficient and effective, avoiding latencies between cluster elements.

MySQL optimization

Databases are optimized to run directly in RAM. This speeds up processing and considerably reduces CPU load.

Website optimization

Did you know that attacks account for up to 90% of web requests on a server? That's a lot of wasted CPU resources.

At LRob, automatic attacker detection and blocking reduces CPU usage by 90%, saving up to 100 watts per server at any one time.

Use VPS whenever possible

VPS servers are both economical and ecological, pooling resources while offering excellent availability. That's why all small LRob application servers, such as DNS servers, run on VPS.

Result: 10% CPU used & max performance 🚀

Between September 2023 and September 2024, our servers showed an average CPU utilization of only 10%.

This optimization saves physical machines, further reducing the resources used, while ensuring maximum performance even during traffic peaks.

Conclusion

At LRob, we protect your business, your finances and our planet, while providing superior service:

  • Consume less Protect our planet and cut your costs.
  • Optimizing sites Reduce server utilization, improve performance and cut costs.
  • Effectively block attacks Improve safety, boost performance and cut costs.

With LRob, you get superior shared hosting that outperforms most dedicated servers, at a contained price. It's a win-win situation for everyone.
