I really love the new HG program to buy the RECs to cover the cost of powering/cooling the shared and reseller servers (in addition to the other pro-social things HG does). I was thrilled to learn about it and consider it yet another reason I feel good about working with HG.

As a dedi owner, I understand why dedicated server needs are not computed in the total. But without having clue one on how much the RECs cost or how to go about getting them, I’m wondering if it would be feasible for HG to offer dedi owners the option of "opting in" to the Green program?

I would quite willing to pay extra for having a dedi included in the REC calculations if it were an amount I could reasonably manage…don’t know if this is feasible or not with how these things work, but I wanted to ask.

Thanks for the contributions HG makes. :gatorclap:
