(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Green colocation and managed hosting provider Green House Data (www.greenhousedata.com) announced on Tuesday it has expanded its operations by opening a new office in downtown Denver, in an effort to meet the growing demand of Front Range businesses.
The company currently operates a 10,000-square-foot data center in Cheyenne, Wyoming, where it houses its colocation and managed hosting services.
Green House Data says that 100 percent of its power is produced by renewable wind energy backed up by the traditional power grid, operating at approximately 60 percent more efficiently than traditional colocation providers of similar size.
Along with its newly built office, Green House Data has also added Denver-based staff including CEO Shawn Mills, who is now working from the downtown Denver office.
Green House Data Center's operation delivers the Front Range's only colocation data center that offers a zero carbon footprint. The company says the facility is approximately "10 percent more cost-efficient" than other colocation providers.
The new office comes at an opportune time, as an increasing number of companies in the region are advancing their green initiatives and looking to find a more eco-friendly hosting and colocation environment, says Green House Data.
Additionally, Green House Data says there has been a recent surge in businesses with compliance requirements regarding the distance between an enterprise office location and its back-up data center.
Green House Data says its Cheyenne data center is within the "desired proximity while adhering to distance rules," bypassing risks associated with a densely populated, highly vulnerable metro region, giving clients a safer facility in which to store sensitive data.
The company offers a detailed video tour of the facility on its website.
"A growing number of companies we talk with in Denver want more features, customer service and flexibility from their provider, all for less money," says Mills, CEO of Green House Data. "Because of the energy efficiency of our green data center, our robust connectivity, and the cost savings that Cheyenne affords us as a smaller town, we can offer all the desired benefits with a lower price tag to Denver companies."
Green Data Center is currently providing managed services for several Denver-area organizations, including online motion content provider Thought Equity Motion and online video advertising and distribution firm VideoBloom.
In March, the company announced it will provide energy efficient outsourced data center services to the National Outdoor Leadership School.

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next. In recent months we've been giving added attention to the kind of practical and applicable advice aimed at smaller hosts and resellers. This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered. The basic constraints of a printed magazine, and the less-than-infinite amount of time we had available forced us to face the fact that we could never produce an exhaustive guide to starting a hosting company.
