We Welcome Our First ‘Green’ Host – ThinkHost.com
Written by caymanhost on April 1, 2008 – 9:57 pmI was recently approached by a hosting company to work with them as an affiliate and after visiting their website, found ThinkHost to have an interesting marketing message – that of an environmentally aware company who are carving themselves out a niche on the basis of a very common theme of concern amongst consumers nowadays.
Whether you are a believer in Global Warming and humankind’s effect on it or not, the fact is, this will doubtless appeal to a great number of people around the world. The company promise to plant a tree for every single customer they sign up and run their business on renewable energy resources. (wind and solar generated power)
They have been in the hosting business since 1999, so they are not a naive new start up with nothing but high ideals.
ThinkHost shared hosting packages come in at a very reasonable $7.95 monthly for which you will get, among other things, unlimited domains, unlimited databases and email accounts, 100Gb of storage and 1000 Gb of transfer. The features of the plan are comprehensive and they give a 100% uptime guarantee. Full details can be found at the website and we will be adding them to the main directory very soon.
Thinkhost coupon codes are available when you get to the homepage, and are not published elsewhere. BUT, I have a special for you – order through us and you can get $25 off of any plan by using the coupon code “THINK25BUCKS”.
For other webmasters or affiliates interested in working with this hosting company, please visit the ThinkHost affiliate program for details of their attractive compensation plan.

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!
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.

Hi Julie
Thanks for the feedback and sorry to hear you had such a disappointing experience. I hope that you will be able to resolve the issue of your refund in due course.
So far yours is the only comment we have received on the company but hopefully there will be others who have not had so many problems.
