The support personnel at Green Geeks is extraordinary! Most marketers I know don't really want to completely comprehend the ins and outs of setting up a VPS Server, adding Cnames and redirecting domains, etc. We have other things to do. I was really confused when I was told that the mass emailer software I just purchased needed a VPS. A V what?? Support at GreenGeeks helped me with every detail, every step to ensure I had a quality, stable server for my mailer. They couldn't have been more professional, kind, and patient with me. And when I wanted to expand my hosting needs for a website, that was already covered under the monthly fee I was paying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This may seem trivial, but when time matters (and we all know it does), I had to search high and low on Green Geeks website for the Sign up/ Sign in links. I finally just googled "Green Geeks signup page." I mean, come on web designers...if you lose a customer or two to a competitor because you make it too difficult to locate the most important step to access your services, then I think it's your own darn fault ;). That's why I chose an 8 instead of a 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
They offset 3x the energy they use with, I believe wind credits. Oddly, this is difficult information to find on their website right now. For my sustainable industry clients, this is a big plus. I also appreciate that they have not sold out to EIG. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I feel that overall, the hosting is a bit slower than other hosting platforms. Things can hang up significantly. when doing a backup or updating plugins. They do not have an easy "let's encrypt" option like many others, but they will help you use a let's encrypt SSL certificate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I originally started using GoDaddy for web hosting until I switched because of a promo that they had. I prefer GreenGeeks over any web hosting sites. They have excellent customer service and it is super fast and easy to begin. My favorite thing they do is they help reroute all domains for you instead of the tedious work that I would have had to do on the back end. And a plus, they are a green company!

The only issue that ever occurred was a kick back on my payment. I'm not sure if it was something on my end or on their servers. I called customer service and it was taken care of quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use platform for creating Wordpress sites. Performance is Ok, but not the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The performance isn't as good as some of the comparable companies out there for hosting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We strive to be environmentally conscious and sustainability was one of the things we wanted in our website hosting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've seen the website down for no reason at all... the only reason I noticed was Google actually sent me an alert. It only happened once and they fixed the problem quickly when I contacted them, but I don't know how many potential visitors were turned away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
GreenGeeks has competitive pricing for the service they offer. The Ecosite Starter starts at $3.95 a month triennially and comes with unlimited web space, unlimited data transfer, a free domain, and various application support such as WordPress. If you are a beginner, they offer starter site builder which you can request for free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Although GreenGeeks advertise themselves as a Canadian hosting service with servers in Toronto, they do not have Canadian pricing and charge all plans in USD. The file manager in cPanel only allows selection of files and lacks a method of uploading whole folders at once. FTP account setup and connection is required for better file management which is fine but adds to the number of interfaces I have to work with when managing my sites. There are also hidden clauses not apparent when looking at their plans such as their excessive usage policy: "A hosting account is considered using "Excessive amounts of resources" when it consumes 100% of 1 CPU core, and/or 1 GB Memory, 20 concurrent connections and/or 75,000 files also known as "Computing Resources", and/or "Resources", and/or "Resource Usage"."
