Personally, I go with Ipower and they are now 100% green and have wind power generating all of their servers. In total aggreement when it comes to wasted energy, but this argument (I suppose could be used for anything that consumes electricity). Nonetheless, this movement (if done by all major and minor hosting platforms) could be significant over the long term because of it’s sheer appeal.

You’re right that the electricity required to run the hosting servers contributes to global CO2 emissions. I think the fuel cell approach that is being tried on a pilot basis by Google and Ebay may prove to be an effective model for hosting companies.

This is the firs time I’ve heard of such type of hosting. I wasn’t aware such a service was available. Now that you have posted this info I will try to switch over to this type of hosting for my sites.

Agreed, I think that whenever possible, green web hosting service providers should be used. Prices are not drastically different so, as long as the required services are provided, as they usually will be, there is little reason not to go with a green web hosting service.

It’d be nice if some of the big hosting companies out there took this initiative and advertised it to site owners. I wasn’t even aware that this existed until right now, but I’m going to look online now and will most likely switch hosting companies. Has anyone here had any issues with any of the companies that were reviewed?

I like Hostgator, they have great deals and I have also read that a good portion of their power grid is powered by Wind Turbines, which are just a couple of reasons that I have been with them for the past couple of years.

I see you are interested in global warming and everything else that comes with it. I would just like to share my disappointment at the outcome of the Copenhagen climate council. The summit was supposed to halt temperature rise by cutting greenhouse gases. But after two weeks of negotiating it ended in a weak political accord that does not force any country to reduce emissions and has no legal standing anyway. As a result the world is “one step closer to a humanitarian crisis”, according to the Royal Society. It looks like it is every man for themselves but if your far away neighbors don't do anything to halt it, what is the point. Here in Scotland, Scottish Hydro has shown the way forward with supplying clean renewable Scottish power from sources like, hydro damns and wind turbine farms but is it all in vein? It could well be.

What a great idea. I would have never even thought to look for green web hosting. I guess it makes sense, there are every other type of green businesses out there. Why not web hosting? Thanks for the heads up.
