Our primary customer base is small businesses, individuals, and non-profits.
We are carbon neutral and offer non-profit web hosting at a reduced rate. Our
criteria for the discount are based on the mission of the organization and their need, rather than

Datacenters
We are proud to work with two of the best datacenters in the business:
ServInt and
LiquidWeb.
Not only do they provide redundant architecture, innovative backup and monitoring solutions, and expert technicians,
they are both committed to building energy-efficient datacenters and reducing their carbon footprint by use of
low-voltage servers, recycling hardware components that can no longer be used, and contributing to reforestation projects.

Meet the Owner
Acorn Host was started by Emma McCreary in 2002
to provide her design clients with a reliable place to host their sites.
It has since grown to serve the larger community and is home to many
small business and non-profit websites.
Emma's guiding values are authenticity, integrity, and finding the truth of each situation.
These influence her win-win sales and marketing philosophy:
I am passionate about conscious capitalism and the potential for businesses with a sense of purpose and the higher good to transform the world.
I believe there is a spiritual ecology to business: if you are doing good work that is needed in the world, your ideal customers will naturally be attracted to you and your business will flow.
Emma is involved in the local
indy business community, describes herself as a "happiness advocate", "joy ninja", and "woo-woo geek",
and blogs about the intersections of self-employment, spirituality, and
personal growth on her blog
Tao of Prosperity.
She is a native Oregonian and
considers it an honor to have been named after the irrepressible
Emma Goldman.
