We at thinkhostreview.org previously review about thinkhost hosting effort in planting tree for their every new customers. It was a very very great effort toward green web hosting. Now, thinkhost hosting is power by 100% solar and wind power, and that is carbon neutral effort. Thinkhost purchase carbon neutral credit to off-set their current electricity usage by servers and data center.
What is green web hosting and why we need it? In all web hosting company, they uses electricity power from the power grid. These electricity is either being generated via fossil fuels burning to generate electric power or using nuclear reactor to generate power, these are the two main source for electricity. However, right now there is green energy come along and offering a more greener solution and zero pollution. That will be the wind power energy and solar energy. Wind power turbine will spin as long there is wind blowing, and this generate electricity, and the power are supplied to the grid and later end up at consumer. Solar power is less developed in huge scale as the electricity output is less in capacity and only lass for few hours during day light. Wind power is with the most potential and many developed country are having huge scale wind farm to generate thousand of megawatt of output each day. These electricity is termed as green energy.
Web hosting company can buy these green energy credit and use it for their data center etc. Its a campaign to support the green energy and making their web hosting services greener than ever. Think smart and choose smart the next time you look for a web hosting company.
