[BNM] 100% Renewable Energy Web Hosting recommendations

[Premasagar Rose]

For the BNM archives...

The outcome of my search for a renewable energy hosting company was that 
we now use Smartbunker <http://www.smartbunker.com> as our datacentre, 
which I understand to be the only datacentre in the UK (and therefore 
with a UK-based IP address) that runs completely on renewable energy. 
And we have a cooperative in Manchester, called Ecohost, manage our 
servers: <http://ecohost.coop> and I'd happily recommend them.

I wrote a blog post about our findings:
