Something I am very curious about is the potential effects of decreasing climate temperatures on the cost of web hosting.
I am interested in this from a commercial point of view and recognise it is something I don't really know enough about.
I do know that some websites are hosted in ICELAND (like this one).
I know there are some legal freedom advantages that ICELand has and I think that because of the large costs of cooling power needed to cool server technology, Iceland is in a strong position because it has long periods of being very cold.
I am aware the cost of building a data centre is very high.
But here is where I start guessing...
If you are starting from stratch in a very cold climage then I think you would build your data centre to optimise the environment.
But if you starting now then I think it would be very difficult to plan until the climate has properly shifted. I just think that there is a large crowd of tech managers who are going off in the wrong direction thinking that increasing CO2 temperatures and investing incorrectly.
I'm just wondering for a countly like the UK if it actually makes any difference.
I don't know the answer to this and was wondering if some of the awesome techie Nerds we have here on this forum would know anything that could be useful to a young enterpreneur seeking competitive advantage?
Thanks :)
