			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m a big fan of <a href="http://www.pair.com/">pair Networks</a>, my hosting company.  Their service has been outstanding; the few times I&#8217;ve ever had a glitch with my shared hosting, they have been responsive beyond the call of duty and done whatever it takes to fix the issue.  I use them to host not only a half-dozen of my own sites, but family and client sites as well, plus some other groups I&#8217;m involved with.  It has been a uniformly excellent experience.</p>

<p>Now I see <a href="http://www.pair.com/news/">pair Networks has gone carbon-neutral</a> too.  While such labels can be abused, and I wouldn&#8217;t really trust this announcement from just anyone, I trust them.  I&#8217;m happy to see them trying to reduce their environmental impact.  Go pair, go!</p>

<p>Side note:  pair is not the cheapest (and <a href="http://www.xaprb.com/blog/donate/">I&#8217;m accepting gifts</a> if you feel the urge), but every other hosting provider I&#8217;ve heard people rave about for cheapness eventually ends up being a sore point &#8212; even the biggest in the industry &#8212; I&#8217;ll name no names.  Sometimes there&#8217;s no way to know if someone is good without trying them for six months and seeing how they handle problems.  I am also involved with enterprises that use <a href="http://www.briworks.net/">Blue Ridge InternetWorks</a>, who is also top-notch and employs a number of people I respect a lot.</p>
