Wind Power Web Hosting, Sustainable Web Hosting

100% Renewable Wind Power Web Hosting

As a Pacific Northwest Web hosting provider, we at Canvas Dreams want to limit our impact on the environment. The major resource we use in the operation of our business is electricity. In addition to our servers and network equipment, power is used by the cooling, security, and fire suppression systems at our data facility.

Canvas Dreams utilizes energy-efficient servers and employs conservation technology where possible. Our newest line of greener dedicated servers use ultra-efficient CPUs - created through a lead- and halogen-free manufacturing process - generate little heat, and draw considerably less power than do our enterprise servers. Still, for every Watt of power used by our hosting infrastructure, another Watt is used to cool the heat generated by our systems.

From an energy usage standpoint, Web hosting is a costly business, and as such, its impact higher on the environment as compared to other industries. For this reason and many others, Canvas Dreams partnered with Bonneville Environmental Foundation to purchase locally-generated renewable wind energy.

Renewable Energy from Local Wind Farms

See our tour of the Biglow Canyon Wind Farm, which generates renewable energy used by Canvas Dreams at our data facility.

Through Bonneville Environmental Foundation, we purchase 100% renewable wind power from wind farms in the Pacific Northwest, including the Biglow Canyon and Klondike wind farm projects. Unlike carbon offset programs, this method directly benefits the Pacific Northwest environment and economy. It's as close as we can get to plugging a wind farm directly into our data facility!

Not only is it one way for us to give back to Northwest businesses who have supported us, it is also one small step to helping the environment that has given us a home.
