The name Viridio comes from Viridi (Latin for green) and the “O” for the online world, symbolizing our mission to make every web hosting activity eco-friendly. Since 1997, we’ve been dedicated to green web hosting, operating our own solar-powered data center to go beyond carbon offsets and truly sustainable hosting services.
As a California Public Benefit Corporation working toward B Corp status, Viridio is built to support people, wildlife, and the planet before profit. From affordable domain names, domain registration, and website hosting to email services for business, website builder tools, and WordPress hosting, we provide reliable solutions while preserving natural resources.
Trusted since 1997, we host everything from small business websites to large-scale projects in the movie industry. Our team ensures unmatched service in the web hosting industry, treating every client like they’re our only client. Choose Viridio for sustainable domain and hosting where your website domain, email hosting, and growth thrive on renewable energy.
Environmental Vision
Viridio was founded with the vision of building a cleaner, more energy-efficient web hosting company powered by renewable energy. In 2002, we introduced one of the first solar-powered green web hosting solutions and have since continued to invest in advanced technologies that improve performance, security, and energy efficiency.
We are committed to protecting the planet while delivering reliable website hosting, domain registration, and email services for business. By maximizing resource efficiency, reusing materials, and adopting eco-friendly practices like recycling, virtualization, and SSD technology, Viridio reduces environmental impact while providing trusted hosting services.
From affordable domain names and WordPress hosting to complete domain and email solutions, our mission is to combine innovation with sustainability helping clients grow online while supporting a greener tomorrow."
