Utilises a unique green technology data center, which operates 100% of the time on clean solar energy.
Greenest Host,
a provider of green powered Internet services, yesterday announced the
worldwide availability of its 100% solar powered web hosting plans.
Like
most web hosting companies, Greenest Host offers a suite of services
that allow users to host websites, register domains, host email
accounts and build their own custom web presence. What makes the
company unique is their green technology data center, which operates
100% of the time on clean solar energy.
The company has combined
cutting edge green power technology with custom, easy-to-use account
management software, point-and-click website development tools and
world-class ecommerce software. For the first time, consumers and small
businesses have the freedom to sign up for a green technology web
hosting account, build a web presence and know that with every web
visitor's click they are reducing carbon emissions. And for every new
account created through the end of 2007, Greenest Host will donate $5
to the Environmental Defense Fund, up to $500,000.
"The idea for
such a venture developed out of our firsthand experience with data
center operations. Ask any data center operations person how power and
cooling-hungry most web servers are. When we ran the numbers, we were
astounded by how much pollution can be reduced when switching to green
technology hosting. Greenest Host literally produces zero carbon
emissions. It is important to note that this is NOT a green solution
because we are buying Renewable Energy Credits or carbon offsets. It is
energy from the sun that powers our web servers and data center cooling
day and night. We are not paying a penance for our emissions sins, we
are just not committing the sins in the first place," said Mike
Corrales, President and CEO of Greenest Host.
