SparkJam is happy to announce that our site is now powered by Affordable Internet Services Online (AISO.net), the only 100 percent solar-powered web-hosting company in the world.

Part of our mission is to feature people, organizations and companies that are doing a little something to create a cleaner, more equitable future. AISO is holding it down with good clean energy in the internet sector.

We dig the story about when AISO was asked to host the website for Live Earth. They were excited to host the site but had plans to be at one of the AISO employee’s weddings in Las Vegas during the Live Earth concert. Instead of staying back at the office to monitor the massive amount of hits the Live Earth site would receive the folks at AISO were like: “We got this on lock,” and went to Vegas anyway. Live Earth received over 50 million visitors during their July 7, 2007 worldwide concert without a hitch. So who says a clean energy data center can’t handle a ton of traffic?

Between AISO’s solar panels and tubes, air cooling system, rainwater collection and green roof, they save beaucoup CO2, acid rain and smog from releasing in to the environment. So now all the hot air we release will be ecofriendly! We are stoked that AISO will be helping to keep our Spark Jammin.’
