May 21, 2008 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Web hosting provider SharkSpace (sharkspace.com) announced on Monday it has moved its entire server fleet to new energy efficient Dell servers, in an effort to better protect the environment.

The company says that new Dell servers consume up to 25 percent less energy than previous generations, and when coupled with performance gains, this results in up to a 300 percent increase in performance per watt over previous generations.
