I went to HostGator's site today and noticed that they have purchased certified renewable energy credits (wind) for all of the electricity used to power and cool their servers. I'm happy to see another host going green Cheers to Host Gator
Host Papa, Dreamhost and Thinkhost have been doing this for awhile, it's good to see another one on board. These energy credits help make alternative energy farming feasible, so stunt or no, it's good to see the hosting community address the energy consumption of the Internet. My sites are all carbon-offset, and I'm working on a solar-powered laptop, so all of the power I use online (except for the occaisional coffee shop) is renewable or supports renewables.
I'm trying to make enough money to purchase a wind mill to put on top of the old HAM radio tower on my property. Maybe it can offset all the power my servers take up. Good for hostgator, I knew I went with them for a reason.
I never liked host gator as they always blame people for using to many resources atleast with my experience.
I hate it when companys do this. Don't they know that there are very few people who actually give a shit.
