There are many ways that web hosting providers become ‘green’. In some cases it appears to me more greenwashing than real actual greening. Also a consideration is how green is green. Is the provider simply increasing efficiency or buying REC’s and that’s it? Or are they making a concerted effort to make their operations properly sustainable?

I’ve made a comprehensive list of Green Web Hosting providers where I hope some of those questions are answered. http://davidherron.com/view/green-neutral-web-hosting

Turns out that AISO offers Windows hosting, so that’s one at least.

You’re welcome, Oliver. If anyone knows of a green windows host, please comment, thanks.

First – Thank you for your useful, objective reviews! I’ve been poking around on and off for three days and this is the best resource I’ve found.

Second – Thanks for the review of green hosting. As an envrionmental organization, we’d like to use one. Thus far, none of the ones you list – or any others I’ve found – seem to offer Windows hosting. If anyone knows of a green host that does, I’d love to hear about it.

Hey guys,

Not sure what’s up with the page not loading — we have not had any other similar reports from anyone else, and with thousands of domains hosted, I think we would have heard something by now!

We’re definitely around and still growing like rabbits!

Doh: I wonder if there is some odd DNS issue at your ISP?

Thanks!

I haven’t heard anything, but I will check around and see if I can find out anything.

Hi Emory,
Does Thinkhost still exist? I’ve tried getting to them, but for months now I’ve just got page loading error.

I’m pretty sure they’ve gone bust or something.

Mitch has an interesting contrary viewpoint to green web hosting: webhostingshow.com/2008/05/07/when-is-a-green-web-host-really-green/
