Green Web Hosting Provider GreenGeeks.com Goes Carbon-Negative

Santa Monica, United States (IBwire.com - August 12, 2009) GreenGeeks (http://www.greengeeks.com) are leading the way to a cleaner future by offering "300% green" yet 99.9% reliable web hosting.

Their data center is still powered the old-fashioned way, because it's still necessary to pull energy from the grid in order to assure that a constant power flow for all servers is secured and to make sure the servers would not be interrupted by a lack of power.

In order to compensate for the power GreenGeeks pull from the grid they purchase wind energy credits for the energy they consume from the grid.

GreenGeeks replace, with clean wind power, 3 times the amount of energy used by their servers so if they pull 1X of power from the grid they purchase enough wind energy credits to put back into the grid 3X of power having been produced by wind power.

This allows their customers to say that their web sites are 300% green, actually helping to make the web hosting and power systems greener, not just covering the carbon footprint but covering others carbon footprints as well.

The winner of the "Best Green Hosting 2009" award strives to turn the web hosting industry green, because there is definitive change forming: independent auditors estimate that by 2020 the web hosting industry will become as big of a polluter as the airline industry.
