Is very tired of "green hosting" brother. The Time4VPS say is carbon neutral but ¿what mean this¿. I check and is only REC certificate buy. Is not green, is greenwashing. Jaja the marketing is very strong in this industry!

Kids play Valorant now, don't know about real server rooms. Source engine servers ran hotter than anything, we didn't call it green we called it "surviving summer." These certs are like tickrate claims: meaningless without context. What's the actual power source? PUE? Nobody posts that.
Edge. Pop closer to user, origin happier, cache hit on sustainability claims. It's 12 now for most providers' actual renewable percentage. Miss when they fake it. Real green pops exist but you have to dig past the marketing origin.
I spent three years faking green certs for a hosting company I know the checklist
Actual metrics that matter:
Dig TXT time4vps.com
; <<>> DiG 9.18 <<>> time4vps.com
;; ANSWER SECTION:
Time4vps.com. 300 IN TXT "v=green1 certified_by=SomeBodyWeMadeUp"
TTL's only 300 seconds. Check your resolver, check the authority. Propagation of truth takes longer than marketing. Traceroute to their "green datacenter" hits four coal regions first.
