ANN ARBOR, MI - September 6, 2007 - A2 Hosting, Inc. announced today that it offset its carbon emissions with Carbonfund.org, the country's leading carbon solutions organization. A2 Hosting, Inc. has committed to offsetting all its server emissions and to using environmentally friendly products whenever possible. These practical steps highlight A2 Hosting, Inc.'s commitment to be a leader in the Web Hosting community.

A2 Hosting, Inc.'s stakeholders are very concerned about global warming. Considering the implications of climate change, carbon offsets through Carbonfund.org are a natural extension of the work A2 Hosting, Inc. does on behalf of its stakeholders.

"We are committed to doing right by our customers and the environment. Until more clean energy solutions are available to everyone, we are pledging to offset our server emissions in order to help protect our fragile environment." - Bryan Muthig, Founder and CEO

"Carbonfund.org is proud to have A2 Hosting join our CarbonFree program," said Steve Offutt, Senior Advisor at Carbonfund.org. "Electricity use by servers in the US is growing faster than almost any other subsector, so it's great to have A2 Hosting joining us in the fight against climate change."

Carbonfund.org is a non-profit organization whose goal is to make carbon offsets and climate protection easy, affordable and a normal way of life for every individual and business. Carbon offsets enable individuals and businesses to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to offset the emissions they are responsible for in their normal activities, like home, office, driving or air travel emissions. For instance, a clean, zero CO2 wind farm can offset the carbon dioxide produced by a coal-fired power plant. By supporting renewable energy, energy efficiency, and reforestation projects Carbonfund.org will retire an equivalent amount of carbon offsets. The financial support from these offsets will then help to continue the development of clean, renewable domestic sources of energy.

A2 Hosting, Inc is a Linux based web hosting company based in Ann Arbor, Michigan focused on meeting and exceeding its customers' needs. A2 Hosting's range of services include affordable, developer friendly website hosting for personal homepages up to full service solutions for businesses of all sizes.
