A while ago, I pointed to a green web hosting service offered by sustainablemarketing.com." the greener side" blog has done a comparison of several green hosting companies that use solar or wind power certificates. Prices and services included are competitive with a lot of hosting companies.
And for all you Canadians who want to keep your $ in Canada there is The Green Web Host Inc.
Nathaniel has had some dialogue with Green Web Host Inc. about their plans but neither of us has transferred our service over yet to a green hosting company.

Increasingly I have been hearing about "green" web hosting companies. One example is being offered by sustainablemarketing.com which uses open source (free) software and purchases "wind power certificates" to offset 100% of their energy usage. The money goes towards the construction of wind turbines. More information on how these certificates work, is available here.
Prices, starting at $10/month are also very reasonable. Extras added on to their packages include: access to their library of sustainable and green marketing articles, inclusion in their membership directory, abiity to update your own web content, and blog and website template installations.
I haven't switched my own hosting over yet, but will be checking into this and other companies more...
