Rackspace, a provider of managed hosting services, today announced to offer carbon neutral web hosting.

Rackspace has partnered with the International Tree Foundation, to create a new package that includes sufficient tree planting to offset the carbon emissions produced by each customer's hosting solution.

According to the company, whilst online services can reduce the need for the printing of paperwork and direct mail, web hosting inevitably consumes electricity, and the generation of this power produces carbon emissions. In order to compensate for this, the quantity of carbon emitted is calculated and then trees are planted to offset this amount.
