Thinkhost Green Hosting
Since I join the Greenpeace program, I always search how do I can be a real partner for Greenpeace. To make a donation is not my capable. Someday when I need a hosting space for one of my blog, I search to find some friendly environment hosting provider. After some Google page search, I found ThinkHost that provide green hosting service.
What hosting kind that they provide?
- 100% renewable energy powered
- Supporting positive social change
- Tree planted for each client
- Progressive business principles
- Great values, features and support
This one I like most: “Tree planted for each client”. I think with join to be their client, I can also give my contribution to Greenpeace at the same time. I became their client about 3 month ago; they never disappoint me until this time. Their support is so friendly and helpful. I hope their promise to plant a tree for me is true.
If you want to use their service, you can go to their site from this ThinkHost hosting link. This is my affiliate link, from them I want to donate some for Greenpeace program at the future. If you do not mine to join with them trough my affiliate program I will provide cash back for you from $30 to $90, depend on your transaction value. I will send your cash back payment trough paypal after 35 to 45 days since your transaction is validated. Why? It is only to protect me from fraud, cancellation or deleted account. You just need to post a comment here and provide your site link, I will track them down. If you do not get your paymentat the time that I mention above, do not hesitate to contact me trough the contact form that available at this blog.
If you do not want your cash back, I will send your cash back for Greenpeace donation.
If you get interested to participate this kind of program, your can go to this thinkhost hosting affiliate program too. Do not forget to spend a little donation to Greenpeace right.

THINKHOST - THINK AGAIN
We wanted to change to a “green” host but guess what? DON’T do THIS with THinkhost!!! Better to stick with the ones who have a good support center and services and then just buy trees to offset.
We have paid a 2 year contract with Thinkhost and when we wanted to transfer from our old hosting company we encountered the following:
1. we changed dns but we werent able to see the website; they didn’t create the marinedream account in the hosting panel only after 3 support tickets they figured out that that was the problem. But still my question how to use ftp from a program instead of a panel after 8 support tickets I still haven’t heard the answer
2. I couldn’t get in the secured hosting panel for emails; they keep telling me they can get in - but hey that doesn’t help me; I lost 3 days email because I kept waiting for them to solve the issue. Today I just had to go back to my old hosting company and guess what within an hour i can receive emails again
3. When you sign up they don’t tell you that you cannot upload cgi files chmod 777; tjee and i just had application that needs 777;
4. I prepaid because they said 120 days money back guarantee -> FORGET that you will get a refund! After 3 days of hassle and complaints and giving them 3 days to help to get the service in order they refused to give it BACK! They want to steal from foundations like we are in stead of just giving the money back!!!
So my point: Dont use THINKHOST and just buy trees to offset your CO2; Dont make the mistake we did to trust them and that they will refund the money if you can’t use the service.

Thinkhost service levels are terrible and they will not honor their money-back guarantee based on service-related issues, so thinkhost offers no real guarantee at all. We were seduced into signing a two year agreement with Thinkhost by the lure of high storage and bandwidth, both of which we needed. We quickly discovered ThinkHost hosting service levels to be terrible, and we asked for a refund based on the control panel being so grossly inadequate. Thinkhost claimed we specifically waived our right to a refund based on service levels (that’s how the credit card companies classify these for chargeback purposes). They seem to think that an inadequate control panel - no matter what its implications on the overall user experience, is some kind of a service issue. Like a car without a steering wheel would be a minor service issue. Ca-Ching… $179 instant wealth transfer.
