A progressive, socially responsible web host

At ThinkHost, the terms "progressive" and "social responsibility" aren't just warm and fuzzy buzzwords - we practice these concepts each and every day in our business dealings. 

We warmly invite other like-minded companies and non-profit to join us in our common goal of making the world a peaceful, greener, place.

What makes ThinkHost "progressive"?

In partnership with our clients and providers we develop, support and promote sustainable solutions that seek to achieve a common goal - a just, peaceful and environmentally harmonious world for our generation and those yet to come. We  strongly believe in the 10 key values of the Green Movement; being:

1. Grassroots democracy
2. Social justice and equal opportunity
3. Ecological wisdom
4. Non-violence
5. Decentralization
6. Community-based economics and economic justice
7. Feminism and gender equity
8. Respect for diversity
9. Personal and global responsibility
10. Future focus and sustainability

Environmentally conscious - powered by solar and wind energy

New! - we plant a tree for each new client! Learn more.

We play an active role on multiple fronts in the battle against global warming and environmental degradation. The vast majority of our staff telecommute  to work - no wasting of fossil fuels or contributing to global warming through trips to and from work. We use little in the way of paper as data is stored electronically. Most of our staff use notebook computers and low wattage lighting, reducing electricity requirements. What electricity we do use, including the amount used by our servers, is 100% powered by renewable energy - a wind/solar mix! - it's carbon neutral green web hosting! We also donate a substantial amount each year in free hosting services to environmental groups! 

Added to all that, we have also recently launched a fantastic tree planting program!

ThinkHost assisting the community and progressive businesses

Sensible utilization of revenue

We have no shareholders, no other investors and no "fat-cat" members of management. We do not waste money on fancy automated marketing campaigns; our promotions are for the most part very personal - direct contact with potential clients and partners . Our revenue is distributed amongst our staff, put back into improving our services and also returned to the community and non profit through various sponsorships and free web hosting. Unlike many of our competitors, we carry $0 debt!

Involving our clients

Not only do we take special notice of client requests for features, we actively encourage and enact upon feedback through our surveys and our newsletter. Clients are also involved with recommending projects to sponsor and we share revenue through their involvement via our affiliate, fundraiser and client incentive programs

Beyond the business

For many of our team members, social responsibility extends beyond our business into our day-to-day lives. Some of our team are also involved in external activities such as human rights/refugee advocacy, peace initiatives, drug and alcohol counselling, environmental rehabilitation and the sponsorship of families in third world countries. We are activists supporting and applauding other activists.

We are very proud of the efforts of the non-profit organizations we sponsor and assist. It is their efforts that put the "human" back into humanity and provide real solutions for society.
