Shared host "green" / carbon offsetting, Cpanel, $10-$20 a month,
I'm currently with webfaction (which awesome) for some of my Django installs, but it's a pain for static installations (especially when clients need their own ftp accounts). So, I'm looking for a cpanel host for clients with simple PHP sites (FrogCMS and Wordpress) and static sites. I use an amazon S3 bucket for most of clients images...
I need about 25-50 SQL databases, 5-15 gigs in bandwidth, and 5-10 gigs in storage.
Many of clients are non-profits and have environmental concerns so I need a host that is "green tagged" (purchases energy from renewable resources) and uses offsets (and has a page detailing this).
I'd also like somewhere with a data-center on the east coast (I'm in Montreal)
I have $10-$20 monthly (I purchase for a year).
Thanks for the help!Last edited by step; 10-23-2009 at 10:35 PM.

Well your requirements look reasonable, besides the "green" part as not all hosting providers are "green tagged" and uses offsets.
Is this requirement a must or can you live without it? You should be able to have a wider range of choice if you can go without this requirement.[ James Lee - Cloud & Web Hosting Specialist • 10+ Years WHT Veteran]

I would guess that just about any host located in Quebec uses renewable energy (presumably, Hydro-Quebec supplies all the power unless I'm mistaken). I don't know if they'd specifically mention it - it's kinda a given (same thing in Manitoba which also uses Hydro).

Supergreenhosting is owned by Justhost. I would sure suggest the OP do his research on them before going ahead with signing up.
