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.
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.

Our data facility is located at the Pittock Building
in downtown Portland, Oregon. |
Our facility is protected by biometric access keys, 24/7 video monitoring,
laser vesda fire detection, and water-free fire suppression to provide
a rock solid, secure hosting environment. |
100% of the energy we use in the operations of our Portland data
facility is generated at PGE's Biglow Canyon Wind Farm east of The Dalles.
We were the first Pacific Northwest Web host to go 100% wind power and
have set an industry standard. |
