Acknowledgements for Contributions to the Earthville Website
The Earthville website is an ongoing team effort and labor of love. It was developed with the generosity of volunteers, donors, and pro bono support from private institutions.
Design & Development
The concept, graphic design, and programming of the Earthville website (earthville.org) was provided by Kensho Creative.

Open-Source Software
The Earthville servers run on free and open-source software (various flavors of GNU-Linux: CentOS, Debian, and Ubuntu).
The main Earthville website (earthville.org) is powered by WordPress, a very flexible open-source content management system (CMS).
Website Hosting & Internet Services
The Earthville servers are spread across the cloud to serve you better, thanks to the generous support of three fine companies: A Small Orange, DigitalOcean, and DreamHost.
The main Earthville website (earthville.org) is hosted on a Cloud VPS at A Small Orange, who offer stellar support and blazing speeds, and we love that their webhosting is very eco-friendly — it’s carbon-negative since they offset 150% of their carbon emissions with green energy credits.
Earthville’s media server and some of our most resource-intensive project websites are hosted at DigitalOcean, which provides cutting-edge virtual server technology with total flexibility for developers to rock the future.
Eco-friendly (carbon-neutral) hosting for some of Earthville’s smaller project sites, blogs, and wikis is generously donated by DreamHost. They provide convenient “1-click” installers for popular web apps, as well shell access for developers and useful control panel functionality for everybody else. We also register most of our domain names with DreamHost because they’re affordable and easy to manage.
You can help us pay the balance of our hosting and domain registration bills by donating directly to our DreamHost account.
Win-win opportunity for affordable web hosting: If you need hosting for your own website, you can sign up with any of the three providers mentioned above, and Earthville will receive a credit when you sign up.
