JustHost VS GreenGeeks
If you are familiar with the electricity required to operate a medium sized data center for a hosting company, you may also know that it takes about the same amount of power to light up a small city. And you may be looking for a hosting company that does something to help neutralize the effect on the environment.
Greengeeks is just such a company, offering both shared and VPS hosting plans while buying 300% of their energy through Renewable Energy Certificates (REC’s). Applying additional efforts in conservation, recycling, and other environmental programs, GreenGeeks is leading the way in carbon-neutral hosting.
