Canvas Dreams is a sustainable Web host based in Portland, Oregon. Customers worldwide turn to us for professional Web hosting they can trust, paired with ethical service and caring customer support.

In 1998, Canvas Dreams was founded as an Internet innovator. Over the next few years, we experienced first-hand how many hosting providers failed to meet the quality of service we expected. We decided to provide hosting services directly to our customers by leasing servers from a successive string of national datacenters. This resulted in a dramatic improvement of service and security.

Yet we felt there was still room for improvement if we could directly control the hardware that was so crucial to our and our customers' growing businesses. To achieve this, Canvas Dreams built out a secure, world-class hosting facility in 2005 located directly on the Internet backbone in Portland, Oregon. Our technology is rock-solid and fully redundant.

Canvas Dreams has seen substantial growth in recent years:

• Canvas Dreams became the first Web hosting company in the Pacific Northwest to use 100% clean wind energy, generated locally by Portland General Electric in the Columbia River Gorge. Our commitment to sustainable practices has seen the development of a sustainability program, including a reduction in waste and energy usage, responsible electronics and plastic recycling, telecommuting and carpooling, and an emphasis on supporting the local economy by purchasing from vendors and hiring contractors who live in the area.
   
• In 2008, we were recognized by PGE, Senator Ron Wyden, and Green America as an industry leader in sustainable practices.
   
• In 2009, we expanded our service lines to include virtualization services (VPS servers) and VoIP-based phone systems.
   
• In 2010, we have continued growing and are using 20079 kWh of renewable wind energy per month.
   
• Additionally, we have become a Certified B Corporation and an EPA Green Energy Partner.
   
• Finally, we have published our unique approach to Sustainable Business, a concept we crafted known as "The Three C's" (Conversation, Community, and Commerce), which centers on building a lasting relationship with you (and helping you learn to do the same with your customers) to create a supportive network that grows your business and helps it withstand changing economic times.

From our humble beginnings with Web design and marketing a decade ago, Canvas Dreams has become an internationally recognized Web hosting provider and is championing the way forward with no-oversell hosting, environmentally responsible services, and a never-ending commitment to the very best personalized, 24/7 support and services.
