Green hosting you say?

Late this winter we purchased a new state of the art dedicated server to host your website and email that is also carbon neutral. Beth has been busy moving clients over and expects to have the move completed by the time we can see grass sprouts here in NH.

We choose Rackspace (A Top Ten host provider) for their 24/7 support and guaranteed zero downtime. Our server also draws over 30% less electricity than a typical dedicated server and the remainder of the electric consumption is offset by Rackspace’s purchase of carbon credits from NativeEnergy.

Read on about the green…

NativeEnergy is a leading national marketer of renewable energy credits and carbon offsets.

In 2008, Rackspace will support two new renewable projects: the Penn England Family Dairy Waste to Energy Project, which will help ramp up a manure digester on this 700 cow dairy farm that displaces onsite fossil fuel use and emissions of methane, and the Farmer Owned Distributed Small Scale Wind Project in Minnesota, which supports the sale and installation of German-designed 40 kW Aeroman wind turbines that are remanufactured and customized for Midwest conditions.

In 2007, Rackspace customer offsets have helped complete portions of the Owl Feather War Bonnet Wind Farm project to bring wind turbine power to the Rosebud Sioux Tribe in South Dakota, and helped the Wanner Family Dairy Farm Methane Project in Pennsylvania become fully funded.

A more expensive solution for us… but one that makes us feel good about what we do.
