Get Web Hosting, and save the planet

Post by JTScofield »

Server farms are known to be very energy consuming. A common server uses up hundreds of watts of electricity, and runs on a 24/7 schedule.
Luckily, some companies have decided to minimize their impact on our planet by utilizing renewable energy sources as their main power supplies.
A webhosting company powering its servers by Solar or Wind energy can spare the world from quite a bit of unnecessary CO2 emissions. It may not be an astronomical contribution, but it's another step in the right direction.

I'm going to recommend you a webhosting company that does exactly that. http://www.thinkhost.com/?p=285bce5b . Their hosting package is a very handy 100GB of space with 1TB of bandwidth, all provided for about $8. If you're a web developer, or even the owner of this website - please consider this service. Companies that are environmentally aware are rare, and they need all the support they can get.

So at least check it out. I guess what they're doing is worth a click: http://www.thinkhost.com/?p=285bce5b

P.S
You can obviously treat this message as SPAM, and maybe that's what it is. However, I believe that in some cases advertising "the right stuff" might actually be okay.
