Yes… You can choose a green web host! We have Dreamhost as our web hosting company… They are darn great for the price! And now on top of the awesome perks we get, we are hosting Green!
Here’s what they did… They found out that they generated as much carbon dioxide as 545 average sized homes, and immediately knew they had to do something to change that… They did a lot of research, and in addition to small conservation tasks, like turning lights off when not in use, or using both sides of the page to print on rather than just one side, they also contacted their utility company to purchase Renewable Energy Credits making them a Carbon Neutral Company.
They have a page on their site that describes all about the Renewable Energy Credits, and what they’ve done to go green… You can also view their Certificate of Carbon Neutralization!
Is your web host green?? If not, I urge you to take a moment and look into Dreamhost… and as an added bonus… You can sign up via any Dreamhost link on this blog, and get your setup fees completely waived.. a savings of $49.95 .. Dreamhost also has great deals on their hosting, space, bandwidth, etc. for as low as $5.95 a month.. and Google Apps are included free!
Check it out!! You won’t be disappointed!
Hmmmmmmm, i’ll check them out. I currently have yahoo hosting and it’s not bad but i doubt they do anything green. I could be wrong though, we’ll see. At this point they really haven’t irritated me and the service has been reliable, but it keeps going up. it’s not THAT good lol.
@Nessa… I think they outspace and outbandwith just about anyone… I love them! and our cost hasn’t gone up at all… plus we get more space/bandwidth as time goes on…
If you do decide to go with them, make sure you use a link on my blog! It’ll save you almost $50 by waiving the setup fees!
Speaking of green computing… check out Powered Green. Renewable Energy for laptop computers. Just one more way to be greener – but Energy Seals let you do it with some style.
@Ted… Thanks! I’ll check it out!!!
Love the new site and look, very clean looking and organized !
