Detailed Rating
GreenGeeks is a web hosting provider founded in 2008 by Trey Gardner, based in Agoura Hills, California. The company is created with the mission of delivering quality hosting while reducing environmental impact. It serves hundreds of thousands of websites worldwide.
Standout feature: offsets 3x the energy used with renewable energy certificates (RECs) in partnership with Bonneville Environmental Foundation. Official EPA Green Power Partner — only three companies in the EPA program replace a higher percentage of their electricity use.
Portfolio includes: shared hosting ($1.95/month), managed WordPress, WooCommerce, reseller with WHM and WHMCS ($19.95/month), managed VPS ($39.95/month), and dedicated servers ($169/month). All come with free SSL, a free domain, daily backups, and Cloudflare CDN.
Infrastructure: LiteSpeed Web Server (4x faster than Apache), SSD RAID-10, LSCache, optimized MariaDB, HTTP/3 QUIC, and free Cloudflare CDN. Data centers in Chicago (USA), Montreal (Canada), Amsterdam (Netherlands), and Singapore.
24/7 support via live chat, email, and ticketing; phone 9:00-24:00 EST. 30-day money-back guarantee and 99.9% uptime SLA. Average resolution time 15-20 minutes.
GreenGeeks is ideal for users who want performance paired with eco-friendly responsibility, from bloggers to hosting resellers. Main drawback: renewal prices jump a lot (from $1.95 to $12.95/month).

Customer Reviews
Would recommend
Dashboard on mobile is actually usable. I restarted a service from my phone while traveling.
Small business friendly
Great experience so far. Set up took maybe twenty minutes including DNS changes. Would recommend to anyone running a blog or portfolio site.
Worth every cent
Billing is transparent, no surprise renewals, no upsells buried in tiny text. Refreshing after my last provider.
Hard pass
I am actively warning other people in my industry not to use this host... Painful from start to finish. Renewal pricing nearly doubled with no warning. Left the moment my term ended.
Exactly what I needed
Had a plugin conflict on my WordPress install and the support tech pinpointed it in about ten minutes. Saved me half a weekend.
chat support kept me in the loop while they fixed an issue on their end. no runaround, no scripted replies. support restored a site from their nightly backup for free when my dev accidentally dropped a table. i expected a headache and got a solution instead.
migrated two sites over last spring and havent looked back. support answered my chat in under three minutes the one time i needed them.
Tried them on a whim after a bad year with another host. Best move I made all year.
Smooth experience
Great experience so far. Set up took maybe twenty minutes including DNS changes. Would recommend to anyone running a blog or portfolio site.
Hit or miss
Good value... The knowledge base is decent but not as deep as competitors at the same price point.
