If you ask the normal person about the majority of computer questions, like what is colocation or managed hosting, I do believe that most wouldn’t have a clue as to what you are referring to. Those of us who work on computers for a living have access to some type of IT support that know all that there is to know about the workings of computers inside and out.
I’d like to believe that most of us know a bit about web hosting. There are a good amount of web hosting available. And I’m glad to hear that several are doing what they can in order to become as green as possible. So if you are looking into web hosting I would encourage you to check out the different options out there. The Internet is a great tool to find the perfect match for you.
Be nice to your IT they are important people, too bad you can’t take them home with you.
