Their customer service is outstanding, and they respond to my requests immediately. The cost is excellent value, as the fees are very reasonable for the quality provided.

The initial setup was simple, as they guided me through each step, virtually holding my hand. **What do you dislike about GreenGeeks?** So far, I have nothing to dislike. **What problems is GreenGeeks solving and how is that benefiting you?** GreenGeeks makes hosting easy without needing technical expertise, offers excellent performance with fast page loads, and provides outstanding customer service. It's a time saver as they handle everything, making it great value for the cost. **Official Response from Alex J:** > Tony, this is exactly the kind of experience we set out to create.

Really glad you're having a great experience and we look forward to continuing to support your growth. Thanks for taking the time to share this. ### 2. Decent Service, until you try to leave **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consulting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 25, 2024 **What do you like best about GreenGeeks?** 97% of the time, the hosting worked OK, uses standard cpanel install **What do you dislike about GreenGeeks?** - Sites would experience unexpected downtime and crashes. - Despite selling "wordpress" plans, they refuse to support database errors even if you hadn't touched your sites for months and it's clear the problem is on their end. - The biggest shafting is what you get at the very end when your term is up. Price goes up 3.5x what you originally paid 3 years ago AND THEY DISABLE BACKUPS, keeping you from leaving. They claim "unlimited storage" for the service but concocted a rule that said backups are disabled over 10GB and refused to enable it. And my account was below 8GB! They are shady and conniving enough to motivate me to write this long rant. Stay away. These guys aren't even good at business. Their dirty tactics motivated me to write this review AND it will cost them way more to acquire a new customer than to sign an old one up at a discounted rate. Good riddance. **What problems is GreenGeeks solving and how is that benefiting you?** Hosting multiple websites ### 3. One of the Best Shared Hosting in the Market **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 18, 2023 **What do you like best about GreenGeeks?** Their shared hosting is fast when compared to some of the traditional ones. Their customer support is excellent, and their dashboard makes it easy to use and implement. They also have one of the high-paid affiliate programs in the market. **What do you dislike about GreenGeeks?** They do provide some great offers when we are starting, but their price increases after using it for the initial years. **What problems is GreenGeeks solving and how is that benefiting you?** They have one of the fastest servers out their, which makes our website load pretty faster. Easy to use ### 4. My new go-to web hosting provider **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nivina J. | Lab Production Assistant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 19, 2023 **What do you like best about GreenGeeks?** I love their excellent customer support, never experienced a long wait. Their reliable uptime is also a great benefit for me. Their dashboard and other interfaces are super easy to use. **What do you dislike about GreenGeeks?** They need to offer more plans specificly for high-demand hosting needs. **What problems is GreenGeeks solving and how is that benefiting you?** A hosting provides that is environmental conscious. and also provides datacenters based in Canada ### 5. Great for starters but not so if your site is scaling **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nishan D. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 05, 2023 **What do you like best about GreenGeeks?** GreenGeeks is a reliable host. If you're just starting out with your website, you can get a reliable host for a great price. There customer support is amazing and I have not had any issues in the past. **What do you dislike about GreenGeeks?** If you're scaling, suddenly the amount you have to pay is going to be very high. And you can get a higher plan from a better service provider such as Cloudways. **What problems is GreenGeeks solving and how is that benefiting you?** I wanted a cheap but reliable host to get started with WordPress. For that purpose, GreenGeeks hosting was great. Initially, I had multiple sites in the same account, including a WooCommerce website. They allowed me to keep it for a long time without limiting the resources. ### 6.

Great Webhosting Service! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Laura E. | Independent Entrepreneur, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2023 **What do you like best about GreenGeeks?** Customer service is always incredibly quick. They've even solved issues I had with my website in the middle of the night! They are also as eco-friendly as possible, which I love. **What do you dislike about GreenGeeks?** I don't dislike anything about GreenGeeks. **What problems is GreenGeeks solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have a website using GreenGeeks webhosting that is as eco-friendly as possible, with quick and efficient customer service. My website has never been down for more than a few minutes, for reasons that were addressed and corrected immediately (often before I even knew anything was going on!) ### 8. GreenGeeks is just ok **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Aline D. | Business Owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 25, 2022 **What do you like best about GreenGeeks?** At first, I liked Green Geeks and did not have much to complain about. **What do you dislike about GreenGeeks?** I found that when I needed assistance, I was provided with a link to an article to read and fix the issue by myself. **What problems is GreenGeeks solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am no longer using GreenGeeks so nothing is to my benefit. ### 9. The best web hosting choice for Canadian users **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 12, 2022 **What do you like best about GreenGeeks?** Support is amazing. Server performance is much much better. choice of Canadian data centres. **What do you dislike about GreenGeeks?** The pricing is kind of pricier than other web hosting companies, but their service makes up for the price. **What problems is GreenGeeks solving and how is that benefiting you?** Data reside problems, privacy concerns. fast website performance. ### 10. Great host for small to medium sizes business **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** dave s. | Owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2019 **What do you like best about GreenGeeks?** They have a good solid support, online chat as well as phone support that you can contact at all hours. **What do you dislike about GreenGeeks?** They no longer have a managed VPS solution. They recently removed it. It was not all their fault, based on the price changes by cpanel which is 3rd party server management software. **What problems is GreenGeeks solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use greengeeks for a shared hosting solution for most of my clients. Easy to use, solid pricing and phone support for my clients. ### 11. Great customer service and uptime **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chris W. | Web Developer, Marketing and Advertising, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 18, 2019 **What do you like best about GreenGeeks?** The hosting is fast. Every time I have needed support I have received nearly instant response from the chat agent. The bandwith and resource allocation work great for most sites using wordpress and drupal. Email setup through cpanel works great and is really nice to have unlimited storage on the primary domain on my reseller account. **What do you dislike about GreenGeeks?** The firewall and IP blocking rules are a little strict for shared and reseller hosting. One of my clients needed to access their web app simultaneously with about 12-15 users. There was no performance issues with the hosting, but the firewall kept blocking their ip address. Greengeeks was not able to lift this rule for this client on reseller hosting. I noticed that on the new plans for reseller hosting they have changed from limited storage space and unlimited cpanel accounts to a new model. The new model allows for unlimited storage space but the plan pricing is based on number of cpanel accounts. I don't forsee any issues with this model for things like prototyping, but I believe it will increase costs for the reseller as new clients come on board. **Recommendations to others considering GreenGeeks:** Reseller hosting is the best by far I've used when compared to A2 hosting and hostgator. **What problems is GreenGeeks solving and how is that benefiting you?** Instant cpanel creation for prototyping websites and web apps. I'm able to have nearly unlimited projects in different stages of development with reseller hosting. We have been using email through the reseller hosting for our company, as well as some of our clients. I think that the ability to set up email without any additional monthly costs is great ### 12. Green Geeks is a "Diamond in the Rough" for VPS Servers and Web Hosting **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Laurie S. | Sole Proprietor, Marketing and Advertising, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 30, 2019 **What do you like best about GreenGeeks?** 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. **What do you dislike about GreenGeeks?** 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. **What problems is GreenGeeks solving and how is that benefiting you?** I purchased this inexpensive mass mailer/autoresponder software, but afterwards found out I needed a VPS Server to host it on the web. They recommended Green Geeks so they solved this cruciap piece for me. I realized that Green Geeks had excellent support as well as being a full service hosting site w8th everything from domain registration to integration with Wordpress for web design. I am not currently using Green Geeks only because I don't currently use the mailer I purchased and decided against the website I was planning to build. ### 13. I like what they stand for, not my favorite hosting platform to host a WordPress site **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 30, 2019 **What do you like best about GreenGeeks?** 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. **What do you dislike about GreenGeeks?** 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. **Recommendations to others considering GreenGeeks:** Don't be shy about reaching out to support if you have a question. They are really responsive and a pleasure to work with. **What problems is GreenGeeks solving and how is that benefiting you?** Claiming a "green" hosting solution for sustainable industry clients. It is reliable hosting, no major problems. ### 14. Web Hosting Platform at it's best **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Real Estate | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 30, 2019 **What do you like best about GreenGeeks?** 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! **What do you dislike about GreenGeeks?** 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. **What problems is GreenGeeks solving and how is that benefiting you?** I was using GreenGeeks for web hosting services and wordpress hosting. ### 15. Excellent customer service! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Charles B. | Web Developer , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 30, 2019 **What do you like best about GreenGeeks?** The customer service with greengeeks was outstanding. They had my reseller account up within 2 minutes and I was already making money! **What do you dislike about GreenGeeks?** Software deployment could have been a little easier to use. Wasnt hard to use though. **Recommendations to others considering GreenGeeks:** I've only used it for reselling purposes only but they are the best in the business. **What problems is GreenGeeks solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use greengeeks personally for my reseller account to get my clients up and running faster. This is the best way to make money. ### 16. Reasonable pricing--limited payment options--overall A+ **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Charles A. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 30, 2019 **What do you like best about GreenGeeks?** The ease of checking and availability and registering a domain and relative process experience **What do you dislike about GreenGeeks?** The payment options and ability to use the host for evaluation purposes prior to signup **What problems is GreenGeeks solving and how is that benefiting you?** Overall simple hosting for smaller company business, we did however move to another platform ### 17. Solid web host with little downtime. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Music | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 24, 2018 **What do you like best about GreenGeeks?** The downtime has been really outstanding. **What do you dislike about GreenGeeks?** The customer support is hit or miss at times. **Recommendations to others considering GreenGeeks:** Give it a try - they have reasonable rates and in my experience are quite reliable. **What problems is GreenGeeks solving and how is that benefiting you?** Hosting all my websites - pretty straight forward. ### 18. Ok For Hosting **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jeremy B. | Myrtle Beach REALTOR®, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 19, 2018 **What do you like best about GreenGeeks?** Easy to use platform for creating Wordpress sites. Performance is Ok, but not the best. **What do you dislike about GreenGeeks?** The performance isn't as good as some of the comparable companies out there for hosting. **Recommendations to others considering GreenGeeks:** I like the service. I liken it to other companies like hostmoster, host gator, & bluehost. They provide decent hosting capabilities for my clients who are building custom wordpress sites on the platform. While there are other companies with much better performance, those cost more $$ normally. **What problems is GreenGeeks solving and how is that benefiting you?** I like that their servers are running on a green energy and are better for the environment. ### 19. Environmentally Responsible Hosting **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chel M. | Human Resources Assistant, Logistics and Supply Chain, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 24, 2017 **What do you like best about GreenGeeks?** We strive to be environmentally conscious and sustainability was one of the things we wanted in our website hosting. **What do you dislike about GreenGeeks?** 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. **Recommendations to others considering GreenGeeks:** There are many, many web hosting options out there but GreenGeeks stands out among them for reliability and for being environmentally-friendly. **What problems is GreenGeeks solving and how is that benefiting you?** A website host is a basic necessity, but the bonus of being environmentally-friendly helps maintain our integrity by showing that we make an effort to stand by our green values. ### 20. Environmentally Responsible Hosting **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jason C. | Independent Designer and Developer, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 24, 2016 **What do you like best about GreenGeeks?** 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. **What do you dislike about GreenGeeks?** 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"." **Recommendations to others considering GreenGeeks:** Research the amount of traffic you are expecting and determine which plan is right for you. Read and be aware of their terms of service. **What problems is GreenGeeks solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have a startup company that needs reliable web hosting and GreenGeeks offers great uptime and nightly backups. ### 21.

I have used many host and i feel this is one of the best. **What do you dislike about GreenGeeks?** Sometime, i get some errors about payment **Recommendations to others considering GreenGeeks:** Very fast hosting **What problems is GreenGeeks solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm always looking for a good hosting because i want to make the best website and GreenGeeks is so suitable. ## GreenGeeks Discussions - [What is GreenGeeks used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-greengeeks-used-for) - [View GreenGeeks pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/greengeeks/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-06-23+19%3A52%3A26+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=6f09bd5f-39e2-4d02-82a0-35faf21375f1&secure%5Btoken%5D=29d11f424c7843c29eefa4495ef55958daabe7fdfb14b7469b1477a4b5763eab&format=llm_user) ## GreenGeeks Features **Support** - Technical Support - Multiple Website Hosting - Bandwidth Support - Knowledge Base Support **Set Up** - Customization - Ease of Installation - Speed **Customization** - Custom DNS name servers - Self branding - Bandwidth support - Flexible hosting plans **Performance** - Plugins and Theme support - Site management - Technical Support - Caching - Free Website Transfers **Security - Domain Registrar** - Advanced DNS management - WHOIS privacy protection - Two-factor authentication (2FA) **Agentic AI - Virtual Private Servers (VPS)** - Autonomous Task Execution - Adaptive Learning - Decision Making **Hosting Management** - Storage Limits - Bandwidth Allowance - Email Hosting - Control Panel Integration - CMS Support - Web Framework Support - E-Commerce Integration - File Management - Database Support - Security Tools **Free Resources** - Free Website Builder - Free Domain Name - Free Migration **Security** - Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Certificate Provision - Data Backup and Restoration - DDoS Protection - Malware Protection **Support** - Scalability - Backup and restoration - cPanel Management - Domain Reseller Account Support - Fully Managed Service - IP Addresses Support **Security** - Backup - Activity monitoring - Malware identification and removal - WAF and DDoS Protectiob **Convenience and automation - Domain Registrar** - Bulk domain management - Domain parking - Auto-renewal **Support** - Domain and Sub-Domain Support - Technical Support - Hardware Support **Free Resources** - Email - Domain - SSL Certificates **Support and service - Domain Registrar** - Knowledge base and tutorials - Domain transfer assistance - 24/7 customer support **Advanced management and features - Domain Registrar** - Email forwarding and hosting - Website builder integration - Domain auction and backordering ## Top GreenGeeks Alternatives - [Hostinger](https://www.g2.com/products/hostinger/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (800 reviews) - [A2 Hosting](https://www.g2.com/products/a2-hosting/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (204 reviews) - [SiteGround](https://www.g2.com/products/siteground/reviews) - 4.2/5.0 (289 reviews)
