Basically, with the whole issue of global warming etc, green hosting is supposed to be a carbon neutral form of hosting.

From Wikipedia:

Quote:
Green or Eco-friendly website hosting is a recent addition to the field of website hosting which involves a given website hosting company attempting to prove that they are not having any negative impact on the environment in an attempt to attract green consumers. This form of Green Marketing is becoming increasingly popular as concern about the environment increases. The most popular way hosting companies prove their green credentials is Carbon offsetting, others include planting trees and more day to day activities such as energy conservation and the use of energy saving appliances.

A lot of companies are throwing that word around now and days... you should really look into their practices though...

It basically means that they are doing something to help the environment. For example using servers that utilize less energy, planting a seed for each customer etc.

Green hosting :l
I once had a host who said he was green in the hosting sector.
His datacentre had lots of solar panels and it had hydroelectric cooling systems and I witnessed it, very technical the main office where the controls were The amount of little green and red lights made it look like someone had taken the front out of a aircraft and put it in the office.

I dont believe in global warming bs but respect others opinions if they do BUT my host wanted to give me unlimited space and bandwidth if I was a first user to move to their beta more greener services, so I did. I will take all the benefits I can get off a largely created panic system any day
