Third-party content / content re-use
The site may host content and images from third-parties and some links may connect to off-site resources. While we will do our best to ensure all this material is valid, we can’t be held responsible if a link is mis-appropriated or content we do not own is subsequently removed, modified or otherwise altered. We expect to be credited if our content is to be used elsewhere and, if you profit from or by reusing our copyright, we reasonably expect you to discuss this with us first.
Content we’ve used
A lot of the images are our own but we also owe a big thank to you Pexels and their contributors for images we’ve sourced from them and used in our articles or as heading pictures.
Hosting
ECOitis.com is hosted by Web Wiz in Pool, England. We chose them for good reasons:
- They are one of the leading green web hosts. Using lots of solar energy, power-optimised servers and efficient systems, they deliver our content to you without adding carbon to the atmosphere.
- They’re reliable, scalable and have multiple fail-over connections to the major Internet routing hubs.
- Established in 2001, they have a long history of providing excellent service (another site we own has been with them since 2010 and it’s very, very rarely had any downtime).
- Importantly, on the few occasions we’ve had to ask them technical questions, they’ve answered within hours and usually making the adjustment or change we asked about – even when the error was something we introduced ourselves – all without any fuss or drama.
We don’t get a reference fee or reduced hosting rates for mentioning them; we just feel that a good service deserves recognition [although if Mr. A. from Web Wiz is reading this, please feel free to get in touch; we’d welcome a mutually beneficial discussion!]
Tools used to build web content
Most of the pages on ECOitis.com were created on a fairly low-spec computer – we don’t need a super whizzy one because you, read reader, won’t read it any quicker! If you work for a major computer manufacturer, thanks, but we see no reason to have something flashier because it won’t make us type any better. Mind you, if you want us to try out a power-efficient mini you’re about to launch that can run a Linux desktop, drop us a line 🙂
