Our Digital Responsibility Commitments

Hodi is certified Digital Responsibility - Level 1 IT Services Company, with a committed DR policy that advocates for relocating data hosting to Africa, maximally reducing our servers' CPU consumption, and choosing datacenters committed to environmental causes.

Contributing to Africa's digital growth and strengthening the continent's sovereignty

While globalization has tended to make us host our data across the four corners of the planet, at Hodi, we make the opposite choice: relocating data for more secure, more sovereign, more performant, and more responsible hosting.

Today, we are present across 31 territories on local servers housed in existing datacenters, with clients eager to regain control over their data.

-10%

of electricity saved in 2024 thanks to our DR policy*

* Calculation based on measurements performed by our teams on CPU shutdown savings at night on a miniPC in a test environment. For estimating energy savings from blocking malicious traffic, measurements were based on the Imperva 2024 study estimating this traffic at 32% of global traffic throughout 2024.

Minimizing our electricity consumption as much as possible

No wasting energy here! We apply this principle to our servers by intelligently optimizing their electricity consumption:

Shutting down half of CPUs at night
Blocking malicious bots

Ecoindex report for a client site, grade F, 26 out of 100

And we automatically convert all your images to WebP!

Improving the Ecoindex score across our entire portfolio

The weight of a web page has increased 155 times since 1995! This is enormous and contributes to hardware obsolescence by forcing us to regularly replace our devices.

We challenge our clients daily to make their websites and applications less resource-intensive, with the goal of improving the Ecoindex score across our portfolio

The detail of this report

The scale runs from A to G and the site is graded F, 26 out of 100. Three causes are listed: a page of 1.704 MB judged too heavy, 839 elements judged too complex and 77 requests judged too many. A curve shows how the score moved over the last six months, between 30 and 60 out of 100.

We host digital projects with a social and/or environmental purpose on our servers, free of charge, as well as innovative startups.
