Host Papa

« How do we do it?

HostPapa purchases "green energy tags" or certificates from a certified green energy supplier. That supplier calculates the total energy consumption of our operation and uses their suppliers of green energy to pump in 100% equivalent energy back into the power grid. Since HostPapa began purchasing green energy, we have removed thousands of tonnes of CO2 emissions and other greenhouse gases affecting our environment.

Why did we do it?

Simply put, we did it because of our commitment to corporate responsibility and to the environment. Ultimately, we wanted to be the green leader in web hosting. The servers and equipment we use here at HostPapa run 24 hours per day and consume a great deal of electricity. Why should we burden the world just because we require that electricity to power our servers? If we need the electricity for our operation, let's buy it from clean energy sources and contribute positively to our environment.

The source of our 100% renewable Green Tag energy that ultimately supplies the HostPapa servers comes from multiple sources, including:

• Condon Wind Facility (Gilliam County, OR)
• Foote Creek Wind Facility (Carbon County, WY)
• Klondike Wind Facility (Sherman County, OR)
• Northwest Small Wind Co-op (WA, MT)
• Northwest Solar Co-op (OR, WA)
• Portland Brewery Blocks (Portland, OR)
• Solar Ashland (Ashland, OR)
• Stateline Wind Facility (Walla Walla County, WA; Umatilla County, OR)
• Summerview Wind Facility (Pincher Creek, Alberta, Canada)
• Tillamook Animal Waste to Energy (Tillamook, OR)
• Washington State School for the Blind (Vancouver, WA)
• White Bluffs/Hanford (White Bluffs, WA)»
