			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I've recently been researching website hosting services which profess to be green or in other words, buy their power from renewable energy companies or companies who offset their carbon emissions.  This blog is not currently hosted with a carbon neutral web hosting service, so it's about time I put my money where my mouth is and practice what I've started preaching. So let me share with you my findings.</p>
<p>One of my current providers offers a pretty unbeatable deal.  I won't list all the features but here's a few that had me sold:</p>
<ul>
<li>300gb triffic</li>
<li>Unlimited domains</li>
<li>2500 email addresses</li>
<li>All for around US$7 per month</li>
</ul>
<p>Pretty hard to  beat.  So lets take a look at the green hosting solutions on offer.<br />
It's encouraging to see that there are a growing number of web hosting services who are turning green in an effort to service those of us with a social and environmental conscience.   Here's my list of top 10 green website hosting companies:</p>
