Greenest Host Launches Solar Powered Hosting
 

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.
