The Green Internet Society

I, (Cameron L. Spitzer) provide Web hosting and email services to various Green movement organizations, including political and educational campaigns, student groups, and Green Parties. People donate to "Green Internet Society" (a fictitious business name with a Federal Employer ID number) to help defray expenses. Green Internet Society will never make a profit.

Commercial Internet Service Providers

Some groups prefer to pay for professional service. There is no best ISP for all situations. Take your time and shop around. Search newsgroups especially news.admin.net-abuse.email for complaints: a history of spam support is a sure sign of wider management problems. So is a listing at RFC-Ignorant. I've sent friends to these providers often:

Pair Networks' shared FTP account for $6/month with name service is hard to beat.
Your dial-up provider. If you're paying $18/month or more for Internet access, your deal probably includes space on your ISP's Web server. That might be all you need. (If you don't like their URL, we can frame it for you.)
Drizzle is small enough to talk to about e-commerce hosting.
Invite has a good reputation for Web hosting and managed servers. I haven't tried them.
JustThe.Net, LMi, and Speakeasy Dialup and DSL Internet access
