Ann Arbor, MI – September 9, 2008 – Linux web hosting company A2 Hosting (www.a2hosting.com) has recently launched FutureServe Green Hosting (http://www.a2hosting.com/services/green-hosting). FutureServe is A2 Hosting’s initiative to do their part to protect and improve ecological conditions for current and future generations. A2 Hosting is already an industry leading green web hosting company, but will use FutureServe to further their positive impact on Earth’s ecological conditions.

CEO of A2 Hosting Bryan Muthig commented on FutureServe’s launch: “We decided to develop FutureServe because we felt it was the best way to reduce our environmental impact and continue to act as a responsible business. We are very excited to provide FutureServe to our customers to do our part to ensure a healthy environment for future generations.”

FutureServe is currently comprised of three main segments:

1.) A2 Hosting is partnered with CarbonFund.org, a leading carbon offsetting organization. This partnership not only allows A2 Hosting to offset web server’s carbon emissions, but also helps contribute to CarbonFund.org projects like reforestation and the development of renewable, efficient energy. A2 Hosting was even featured as a key eco contributor in a recent copy of CarbonFund.org’s newsletter named MyClimateMinute.

2.) A2 Hosting’s culture is fully immersed with environmentally friendly practices. These include telecommuting to reduce carbon emissions from daily commutes and recycling of older hosting equipment. A2 Hosting has eliminated the use of paper towels, Styrofoam cups and plastic cups in their office. Any employees who choose to drink coffee or water in the office are required to use re-useable containers.

3.) A2 Hosting utilizes an in-depth lineup of energy efficient hosting equipment. This equipment includes low voltage Xeon Processors, power efficient DDR2 memory and power saving hard drives.
