Maine Website Hosting and Design

Premier Green Web Hosting from Maine.Info

Maine.Info operates multiple dedicated RAID 1 cPanel web hosting & Citrix XenServers at SoftLayer's SAS 70 Type II Certified Data Center in Washington, DC. These include a dedicated RAID 1 continuous data protection backup server and a disaster recovery data backup datacenter in Phoenix. For uninterruptible email, Maine.Info also mirrors the DNS records on these servers onto a Linode server located at an independent datacenter in Atlanta. DNS mirroring - in combination with our Google Apps cloud support - means that your email will continue to function even should any of our webservers go offline.

We are listed in the EPA's Top Partner Rankings, which "highlight the annual green power purchases of leading organizations within the United States and across individual industry sectors."
