Ethical home & organisational broadband, ADSL up to 8Mbps & 20Mbps, unlimited bandwidth, fixed IP, and GreenNet’s excellent support team ensuring you’re online all of the time.

GreenNet web projects are all about planning, designing, building and hosting websites that work for you and the issues you’re working on.

GreenNet’s database enabling service is designed for hosting websites that are built on a dynamic model where pages are served up from a database as users call for them.
Database enabling allows you to use your website, not only for static files of html web pages, but also for any kind of PHP/CGI system to pull information out of a database and display results on the web.

A discussion board is an online tool that provides a simple and intuituve way for a group of people to respond to discussion topics. We use PHPBB, which is a highly customisable open source discussion board. For a demo visit the Gaia’s Cafe Forums. Like Web Board it is managed via a web-based interface. It can send emails to people participating in an online discussion. Access can be restricted to a list of users or just those who login with a username, password and email address.

For domain names you may want to use later.

For a fixed rate dial-up connection to the internet (note that this requires a BT line)

This package is designed to meet the online needs of individual home users. It includes your own sub-domain style email address and web site URL.

Intranets are a great way to share information and tools to help people work together in a team, especially when that team is spread out geographically. They offer imaginative solutions to organisations that are looking to reduce the environmental impact of running an office and transporting staff there each day.

GreenNet builds open source intranet solutions that include shared calendars, file stores, discussion spaces, notes, image galleries and contacts databases.

Our intranets are cheaper and more sharable than SharePoint Services.

Mailing lists are cheap and efficient way of distributing information on a large scale and to set up your own discussion forums. Moderated lists allow you to approve every posting that is made to your list before the message is distributed to all your subscribers.

For larger organisations with more experience of using the Internet for professional advantage and for Individuals and organisations keen to customise their presence on the Internet.

GreenNet relies almost entirely on word of mouth within the green and progressive community for advertising its ISP and web hosting services. While we like the good things that people say about us in any case, if you are an existing GreenNet member you can now claim an additional 3 months’ free membership if someone signs up on your recommendation to a GreenNet Home/Activist or hosting package. Just tell them to mention your name and address or your billing id when they apply.

For smaller organisations wanting a professional presence on the web

ActionApps is a content management system (CMS) that made it possible for GreenNet to offer low-cost database driven websites which focused on maximising attention to content and minimised the effort needed to get it online. It was GreenNet’s first CMS, developed in 2000 by a group of techies from the APC network, and designed to meet the needs of civil society organisations wanting a dynamic presence on the web.

A wiki is a really simple to use online collaborative workspace. It looks like a website, is accessible through any internet-connected computer, and behaves like a group drafting table. Use it to develop proposals and reports with your colleagues, to gather notes during sessions of a workshop, to create a space for a community to share information, or to keep track of a project development process. Adding, editing and linking between content couldn’t be easier.
