ThinkHost, Inc. is committed to conducting our business in an ethical and socially responsible manner and contributing positively to the community who supports us.  This is in relation to all aspects of our business and taking into account our employees, our customers and our suppliers.

In partnership with our clients and providers we develop, support and promote sustainable solutions that seek to achieve a common goal - a just, peaceful and environmentally harmonious world for our generation and those yet to come.

Environmentally conscious business practises

The vast majority of our team members "telecommute" - i.e. working from home offices. This means that thousands of gallons of fuel that would have been consumed in commuting to a traditional work environment is saved annually. ThinkHost's methods of documentation also means that we have very little in the way of paper archives; business information is  stored electronically. We encourage the use of notebook computers amongst our staff as a means of conserving electricity. The electricity we do use, also taking into account used by our servers, is 100% powered by renewable sources! We also donate a substantial amount each year in free hosting services to environmental groups!

Promoting a positive working environment

ThinkHost’s employees are one of our most important assets. ThinkHost, Inc. is committed to providing a work environment where employees can feel appreciated, valued and provide high quality work. 

We have a commitment to providing each of our full time employees a living wage and a thirty five hour working week. ThinkHost, Inc. promotes/employs based on merits and skill and we do not discriminate based on age, color, creed or relationship orientation.

ThinkHost, Inc. recognizes the personal, parental, educational and family responsibilities of our employees, and ensure that each staff member is properly supported in terms of being able to take leave at short notice when the need arises.

We provide opportunities for all our staff to further develop their skills, with the aim of making ThinkHost, Inc. an enjoyable and satisfactory place to work.

Supporting the community and progressive companies

It's always been an important part of our company operations to actively support non-profit organizations and progressive companies in a multitude of areas - technology, humanitarian and environmental to name a few. We currently offer free and discounted hosting to non-profit community groups and progressive companies, plus other related services and options for fundraising. 

It is our goal that through the provision of sponsored hosting that we can be pro-active in helping to make our world a better, greener, kinder and safer place. One of our objectives is to become widely recognized as a progressive web hosting company and to act as a model for others to follow.

Exceeding client expectations

ThinkHost, Inc. seeks to cultivate our relationships with customers based on honesty, integrity and trust. We applaud our clients' efforts and wherever possible, we assist them towards achieving their online goals through the provision of tutorials, tools and going that extra mile in terms of support.

"I founded the company based on 3 simple principles - Honesty, Integrity and Trust. I'm proud to say that while we have grown substantially over the years, we have not outgrown the original ThinkHost mission - and never will." 
Vladislav Davidzon - Executive Director - ThinkHost, Inc.

Pursuing service excellence

We are committed to providing our clients with high speed network connectivity and to ensure that our hardware and software systems  are current and operating effectively. Our staff undergo ongoing self-directed training and are provided with coaching from management to assist in maintaining a high quality service. ThinkHost, Inc. is more than just a job to our team, all of our staff are passionate about the Internet and what can be achieved via the medium.

Working with like-minded suppliers and contractors

ThinkHost, Inc. utilizes the services of various external suppliers and contractors from many countries to help enrich our company with different skills and viewpoints. This also provides us with the privilege of learning more about the different cultures of our world. We aim to ensure our contractors and suppliers also observe the concepts outlined in this statement within their own companies and strive to work with other progressive companies wherever possible.

Commitment to Open Source software.

Open Source Software refers to applications where the source code is able to be examined and modified by the person using it. Huge programming communities have sprung up around Open Source software and ThinkHost is a strong supporter of the concept. ThinkHost uses many Open Source applications - everything from our server operating software to the applications we use for our client forums. 

Sharing the responsibility.. and the rewards

ThinkHost, Inc. is currently moving towards a more employee-driven business model. This will see greater employee involvement in critical decision making and will provide a greater sense of job satisfaction; plus opportunities for our staff of profit-sharing.
