Sustainable Websites

Sustainable Websites offers web hosting powered by wind power from Renewable energy certificates (RECs). The green power is generated in the Mountain View Wind facility in San Gorgonio Pass, California. With its 111 wind turbines Mountain View can generate enough energy to power over 40000 homes in California.

By purchasing renewable energy certificates, we’re not only offsetting our own emissions of harmful pollutants and greenhouse gases, we’re participating in a community of responsible businesses and individuals. The income from REC’s goes towards either supporting existing wind turbine farms or developing new ones. We’re part of the solution – imagine if more people participated too! Even if less than 50% of the population participated, we would be well on our way to independence from imported fossil fuels.

We believe that Sustainable Websites host their own dedicated servers over at GNAX. According to our research Sustainable Websites hosted around 360 different domain names in the beginning of September. The trend is going upwards with more and more domain registrations so you can safely say that Sustainable Websites is a trustworthy web host.

Sustainable Websites is not only a green web host. In addition their green hosting they offer a community for their members with access to a large library of sustainable and green marketing articles.
