Review: According to its website, ThinkHost has carried out an audit and offset 100% of the electricity usage associated both with powering their servers and staff offices. The greening was carried out through a 90/10 blend of Green-e certified wind and solar RECs.

It is unclear from the website, however, from whom those RECs were purchased. We are therefore unable at the present time to verify the certification of those RECs, or indeed whether or not ongoing REC purchases have been made since the greening program was put in place.

ThinkHost will also plant a tree (in cooperation with Trees for the Future) for every customer that signs up for one of their hosting plans.

 

Our ratings are based on: extent of carbon neutrality, transparency of the greening program, certification of their credits, verification of their environmental claims and permanency of their emissions reductions.

The IT sector is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. By choosing to host your website with a green host, you can reduce your climate impact while supporting progressive companies!
