    I agree with Doug. Carbon credits = a bad thing.

    completemadness: Have you approached these limits on your account? Because they're over-selling. You get what you pay for and with webhosts that's exactly right.

    well i cant say i have
    but other people who use them definitely recommend them too, and IMO they are very good

    Its pretty hard to upload 200GB of stuff and use 2000GB of bandwidth, Ive had about 50 SQL databases with them with no problems, and quite a few email accounts
    They claim 99% up time, which is a little lower then "the best" (which usually quote 99.9%) but IMO still more then acceptable

    [OT]
    all while not producing any extra CO2. ;)
    Disclosure: I have a vested interest in Carbon trading being accepted, as I co-own Carbon360.

    But forcing people to reduce carbon is a lot better. Trading carbon still allows the same amount to be produced.

    Allows, yes. But it does encourage reductions.
    And it fact it must have, the price per tCO2 is now at its lowest ever at €0.08 when its high was €29.78!

    Don't get me wrong, I absolutely support reductions, as much as possible, but it's very difficult for some companies to do so. Aluminium smelting for example produces huge amounts, and there's not much that can be done there.
