Located in Oakville, Ontario, Canada is the green hosting company by the name of HostPapa.  This is not only one of the top web hosting companies in Canada but is also the top green hosting company, as judged by WebHostingDeals.org..  Think about all the energy that is needed to run the servers that are used to host a good portion of the websites in Canada and you can imagine the green technology that is involved with this.

Just a short listing of the offerings from HostPapa will show you that they are not just playing around in this field:

  • You can get one free domain for life.  Are you interested in .com, .biz, .net, .org?  This will already represent a savings to you, and we haven’t gotten to the best stuff yet.
  • Unlimited storage and bandwidth.  This allows a very large number of very large websites to have hundreds of visitors at the same time.  HostPapa does not want you to crash.
  • Up to 100 MySQL databases.  In the reviewers mind, that number is large enough for most of the webmasters out there.
  • cPanel hosting is a standard feature with HostPapa.  Would you want any other platform?
  • The ability to have as many add-on domains as you need.
  • Since Fantastico is the best of the best when it comes to many scripts that are just absolutely necessary, HostPapa has that feature.  This feature has over 40 free software applications such as WordPress, Joomla and OS commerce shopping cart.  The things that really make your web sites functional and that will take them to the next level.  You can install discussion boards and allow for the control of those through an administration control panel.
  • The availability of SoloLaunch site builder software is worth the price of the entire package. The addition of over 100 web page templates will enhance your ability to create and launch within a very short time.
  • True 24/7/365 customer support.  This is available through chat, e-mail or telephone.
  • Many tutorial videos and on-line help will ensure that you have everything you need to do the job that will get and keep you on the internet for a long time to come.
  • 100% green hosting company.  They have been in the habit of using both solar and wind power for all of their electrical needs.  Whether it is for their fax machine, telephones, all their many servers, lighting, even charging the cell phones, they have decided that the green way is the best way.  They have taken the extra step in making sure that a third party justifies their electrical usage and purchases the same amount of green energy they use each and every year.

All of the above and more are for a price that starts at $3.95 per month.  This is one of the best deals in the world for the features that are offered and the chance for everyone to go a little greener.  The ability of HostPapa to go green will pave the way in the next several years for all hosting companies to go green.
