It wasn’t at all surprising to see web hosting ads claiming to be a “Green” environment friendly web hosting company. With the save-our-planet movement getting all the hype after a lot of climactic disasters have been hitting the planet lately, the call to be eco-friendly has reached the ears of staid IT managers in their glass houses.

Okay, what does it mean for a web hosting bureau to be green? Well, if I follow the example of companies like Anso.net, you just have to harness the power of the sun and reduce electricity consumption.  A couple of years back, it was reported that Anso had their data center solar powered thereby reducing electric consumption.  Hmm, is being green a good idea for web hosting companies?  Maybe not in the northern hemisphere where the sun gets hidden for half the year.
