In order to make a decision one should make a decision by going through the reviews of the customers who have used their services.

Thanks for the reviews of these web hosts. I use HostGator and I was actually not aware of their Green initiatives. It makes me a little happier that I chose them. Lots of companies are jumping on the environmentally-friendly bandwagon. So it is good to know which ones are actually doing good and which ones are just putting on a front.
A lot of people don’t know that Hostgator have a green initiative but it should be out there more because they are a great, forward thinking company.
Super Green Hosting are on another level though. I can see them having their staff being made to carbon neutralize their lives, recycling every last thing and running their homes on solar panels and wind turbines in their back yard! Still, it’s a good thing both of these companies are doing and it makes me feel better in the knowledge that I’m not destroying the planet while hosting my sites.
Green hosting ftw!
I agree, and i have already started doing this, when i came to know that it can really save power and makes earth to go green then i have just approached to it without thinking much, after all it is for our own betterment, for the betterment of citizens of world
This is a good reviews…Helps to make nice decisions a lot….
I am proud to say that i use greent hosting and saving the web environment
Webhost review sites are certainly something that I rely on when I am looking for a newhost. Especially ones where they let normal people leave reviews of hosts.
i don’t like HostGator.
I have had gator hosting for several years now and never knew they had a green option. I am now going to have to look into this one and see what the price range on this one is.
Thanks
Do people really care about Green web hosting, I wonder with the carbon emitions by google ect, if green webhosting really matters?
I have had gator hosting for several years now…and never knew they had a green hosting. I am going to have to ask or look into it. Though, it’s probably like everything else green right which is like three times higher than everything else.
I use HostGator. Thank you for this web host reviews. I’ve always had trouble in other hosting companies. HostGator has excellent service but also. Thank you HostGator

I have heard of Super Green Hosting doing tree planting projects, which I think is really great. It’s impressive that they’re taking the time out to help the environment even though they are working as a web hosting site. It’s even more enticing to use them since they provide a free domain…
I’ve come across Hostgator before and I think that they have a really good point. Why not use them? Apart from their green credentials,they also differentiate themselves in their service.
Feedback about Green web hosting are very nice, and according to survey this is really helpful in decreasing CO2 level with power consumption, everyone of us should go for it.
yeah some web hosting offers green web hosting powered by renewable wind and solar energy, over a world-class outsourced network. Your carbon neutral account with us offers you top-level technology, while at the same time supporting a more earth-friendly future.
Im need new hosting but I buyin hostgator ? or green hosting ?
yeah if green web hosting can bring a pollution change to our globe, then we all should really move towards it.
Interesting stuff – it’s nice to know how green web hosting services work, and also which ones to choose to stay “green”.
This sounds like a great site for review and comparison…
I’ve been using Hostgator only because a friend has a reseller account there. It’s good to know that I’m using eco web hosting for my blog
These companies are probably exploiting the green issue but frankly I don’t care. especially good that a number of the US companies are getting involved as it seems that the US are last to grab hold of the green issue. I use hostgator so I guess I can sleep easy!
Nice to know that Green Web Hosting is doing a fine job. Hopefully other will follow or maybe some new services of that kind will appear.
Hmmm, so the providers have now found another way of commercialising! Sorry for critisizing this in such a harsch way though … well, it seems as if the people at Super Green Hosting really mean it and are believing in their project. Well, one way or another, we’ll all be forced -sooner or later- to do something for nature wellfare. And such projects seem to matter indeed.
It’s a pitty you haven’t mentioned anything about the cost though, I guess these services can’t come at the usual prices, so I fear a lot of interested people will eventually step away.
Happy New Year my friend! When will be your next blog post? Can’t wait for it
Lets hope 2010 is our best year!
Till then,
Jean
Hostgator is reliable from my experiences and that is one of the most important factors in my opinion in choosing a web hosting company.
Happy New Year, I guess someone should be setting up Carbon free Blogging. Thank you for the links I have a few environmental organizations that were asking me how to find a green web host and it brought me to you. Thanks Alot.

Never heard of Green Web Hosting until I came to this site to see the review. Might have to give them a try.
I find those hosting reviews or “green hosting site reviews” way complicated. What I mean is, much better to test and see for yourself if a certain host is best suited for your site.
I think it is great to seem more and more hosts, as well as other types of companies, realize the importance of going green. There are so many really simple things we can do to help the environment, without having to sacrifice our goals or quality. I hope this pays off well for these companies, as this will lead others to follow their lead.
Your eco-friendly steps are praise worthy. I appreciate it! Best of luck to you !
I really like how so many hosting companies are starting to offer green options. A server farm takes up a lot of electricity and also requires constant cooling, so it can really be a very environmentally unfriendly business. That’s why I’m glad so many companies are trying to be responsible with the impact they make on the environment. Thanks for these reviews!
First You got a great blog .I will be interested in more similar topics. i see you got really very useful topics , i will be always checking your blog thanks.
Cheers, Todd!
Fernando, In fact, there are some claiming themselves as green web hosting providers for the sake of getting more sales from environmentally-conscious clients! Reading the green web hosting providers' profile page will give you an idea or two on how they make themselves "green" - buying energy certificates is not entirely a legitimate go green move, but it's a start! I fave those who implement green principles in their business operations as well as on their web servers. Prices are relatively the same - The difference is (or should be) the principle and believe behind the going green campaign.
You could sleep easier knowing if Hostgator green their entire business operations :) - but honestly, not many green web hosting provider implementing green principles in their day-to-day operations.
Hostgator IS green hosting!
Im not using this hosting but your review is nice specially to those who are searching about what hosting they need to be chosen.
Going green is the need of the hour and we have to adopt it in every sphere of our life. Before reading this post I was not sure that I could be green savvy even in choosing my web hosting. So thanks and when I am looking for new web host, I will surely see the companies you recommended.
This is interesting but so far I think it is 100% fluff. Are there any rules or guidelines to refer to when it comes to green hosting? Don’t get me wrong – it is good if they are really trying to make a difference but many companies just do greenwashing to attract new clients.

Of course it is green. All crocodiles are green
I’ve heard that there are servers in Japan that consume 100% solar energy. It might be reality in USA and Europe in just a few years time.
Green or not the main reason when choosing the host isn´t their values. I mean I would vote for the green if they are other vice similar but…
Green web hosting is one of those topics that I really enjoy myself, I actually spent about an hour on the phone with the folks at AISO about it.
They were great at sort of detailing what they did to ‘go green’. Quite transparent about the entire issue, unlike a few companies I won’t mention!
Obviously the more we do, the better. Every little bit helps & the fact that consumers are going in the ‘green direction’ is *great* but we’ve got to make sure that it’s not just a marketing gimmick and the companies behind these things are doing as much as they can too.
