Junior Society loves DreamHost, they host our club house (aka blog) and have since the club’s inception. We love them for numerous reasons - they’re owned by their 70+ employees, they’re Southern California based (just like me!), their customer service is spectacular, they offer free hosting to US-based non-profit organizations…and now they’re green! When they learned that running DreamHost generated as much carbon dioxide as 545 average-size homes they realized they had to do something to neutralize their emissions - click here to learn how they’ve made the jump to being a carbon-neutral company. We love their commitment to the environment and the steps they’ve taken to be green - because as our host, they’ve helped make the Junior Society a little bit greener as well!

But the love fest doesn’t stop there! DreamHost facilitates donations to a revolving selection of charities. This is great but the best part is that they MATCH all donations made by their customers through their website. Currently donations are being collected for:

• Habitat for Humanity International - seeking to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action.
• Susan G. Komen for the Cure - the global leader of the breast cancer movement, having invested more than $1 billion since inception in 1982.

We think you’ll love DreamHost’s service as well.
