Green Web Hosting
A list of web hosting companies that use either the power of the sun or wind to run their web hosting centers
At present, between 3 and 4 percent of all electricity (and the associated carbon emissions) used in the world goes to running data centers and web servers. One website hosting server alone has roughly the same climate impact as a 15mpg automobile! I suggest trying these green hosting companies for your next web host.

Affordable Internet Services Online, Inc.
Solar Powered Web Site Hosting provided by AISO.Net
AISO has been a trusted name in environmentally friendly web hosting since 1997. Plus AISO was featured in Inc. Magazines’ Top 50 Green Companies and was the first public data center member of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). Their staff members continually strive to provide you with a level of service that is unmatched in the web hosting industry. They treat every client like they are our only client. AISO owns and operates its own data center and network that is powered by solar panels, not energy credits.
AISO is an environmentally conscious company who cares about our future and our environment. By generating electricity thru the use of solar panels we are able to produce the energy needed without polluting our environment. Our solar panels power both our data center and offices, not like other companies that use energy credits for their servers and/or office. We have invested in the fight to stop pollution and preserving our natural resources. We are 100% solar powered and we don’t pass the extra costs associated with going greener to our clients! Plus AISO was featured in Inc. Magazines’ Top 50 Green Companies and is the first and currently the only public data center member of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).
Power is generated using 120 solar panels located on two large sets of arrays (1), one on each side of our data center. The solar panel arrays face due south, which will generate the most possible amount of electricity. The power from the solar panels is DC, which is converted to AC through our sunny boy inverters (2). After it is converted using the inverters it is stored in our battery bank (3), which we will be getting rid of soon with a new way to be 100% green powered. Look for more information coming soon on how we plan to replace our batteries with a more environmentally friendly alternative. It then leaves our battery bank and runs through out our data center and offices including the air conditioners. In case of an emergency we can get power from our generator but it is not necessary.
AISO is the only hosting company going beyond just clean energy
They have gone beyond just making sure our electricity is environmentally friendly,
