Green Website Hosting

Green Website Hosting

Peachy Green is all about harvesting the fruits of going green!  If you have a blog or website, why not take it a step further?  Have you considered green website hosting?  This option is available whether or not you own a domain name.

Taproot is a Portland, Oregon-based company that provides 100% renewable energy powered website hosting.  The energy is 100% from from wind farms in the Pacific Northwest.  Even better, the energy is endorsed by the Renewable Northwest Project, Northwest Energy Coalition and Natural Resources Defense Council.  If you have a green blog, you should definitely consider more environmentally-friendly hosting.

If you are going to sign up, monthly prices range from less than $8 to less than $25.  I’d say that’s a pretty good deal for both you and Mother Nature!  And, if you sign up now, you can also donate a free year’s worth of hosting for a non-profit organization, without any cost to you. Here’s the deal:

Here at Taproot, we’re all about giving you ways to give back — So for the next year, for every pre-paid “The Works” sign-up we get, we will give a Non-Profit organization a full FREE year of web hosting!

I found Taproot on Twitter (@taproot) and was immediately impressed.  Even for “the Works,” its a fraction of what I am currently paying for hosting.  But that’s just the beginning.  You may be surprised to learn that:

“According to a recent study by McKinsey & Company, data centers are slated to overtake the aviation industry by the year 2020 as a top greenhouse gas pollutant. 1 single medium-sized webserver can emit as much CO2 over the course of a year as an SUV that gets 15mpg.”

So, its time to convert to green website hosting that is powered by clean energy.  Check into Taproot today.  It can effectively erase the carbon footprint of your web servers.

Your new account can be up and running within 4 hours of payment.  As I mentioned above, you can transfer hosting of active domains right away (they are really great with customer service).

If the site is not for you, pull the plug at any time.  There are no contracts that will bind you.  How refreshing is that?

Are you ready to convert to green website hosting?  I sure am!
