Web hosts are going green

I was recently surprised to notice that a company I use for web hosting had gone green. Logging into my customer account at another site, I saw that they too were promoting green hosting. That personal connection made me realize that the trend is truly here, and spreading. Folks, the age of ecosensitive hosting is upon us!

This will be of interest to anyone who takes a stand (other than neutral) regarding the green movement and all things environmental, so for those of you with a relevant ecological or political persuasion, here is information on some of the hosting companies who advertise green services.

DreamHost uses renewable energy credits and energy conservation methods.

Green Geeks utilizes wind to power its operations.

HostGator is using renewable energy credits based on powering and cooling its servers.

Pair Networks uses carbon offsets and energy conservation.
