My company Blue Deer Designs has been offering web hosting as a service for the past five years. I’ve really been wanting to move towards being more of an eco-friendly company and make the web hosting a bigger part of the business. Wanting to make a big change, we moved our server to using wind powered energy. The server itself is a green dedicated server with efficient CPUs (lead-free and halogen-free), that generate very little heat, and consume less power than other servers. The best part is the server is  super secure, watched and monitored 24/7 in downtown Portland. I love the idea of keeping things local and businesses’ money circulating within the city itself so having it in Portland was very important!

I’ve created a branding and website for our web hosting: Blue Deer Forest. It focuses on getting business set up with an accounts, answers questions, provides examples of actual web hosting clients, and much more.

As a colleague/supporter of good things, I really would love your help on spreading the word.  I’d love to help small businesses,  artists, and women-owned websites who are unhappy with their current web hosting to switch to us. Same goes for businesses who need a new site and don’t have web hosting – we want to be there to fully offer excellent customer support and want people to feel good about their website and how it’s affecting the environment!

Just a side note for web designers and developers, our web hosting offers 1-click install of Wordpress, Joomla, and Drupal, pretty cool, eh!
