Hello, Daniel.
Do we really need to create a new web hosting service?
I use UKFSN for my email and they provide 'ethical' hosting sevices:
http://www.ukfsn.org
I'm also interested in 'Green' computing:
http://www.ecologicalhosting.com/
[No flames, please - I'm just an ageing hippie who still believes more
love, understanding and Ubuntu will make the world a better place!]
Best wishes,
Tony.
