😃 I was bribed by the flexibility of Green Geeks tariff plans and the fact that the guys objectively tell you which package you need for the purpose and volume of the site, so to speak.

😃 An adequate service to host. The site works perfectly, technical support is always online, which is useful because there are questions!

😃 I connected Green Geeks relatively recently due to problems at the old company. The protection works perfectly, I noticed this even during the trial period. During the connection and conversation with technical support, I learned that you can also host on Green Geeks; now I connected everything there. It is very convenient both to be protected and to be hosted in one place.

🔧 Services: Web HostingDomain RegistrationWebsite Builder Own datacenter
⇔ Redirected domains: greenresellerwebhosting.com sitecloud.com

GreenGeeks is a green widespread hosting company that, as they claim, is powered by 300% clean renewable energy. Ever since it was established in 2008 by Trey Gardner, they have won a great number of awards that is proof of their performance and strengthens their reputation.

GreenGeeks offers the following great hosting services:

Shared hosting;
Reseller hosting;
VPS hosting;
Dedicated servers;
Website Builder.

Each hosting plan offers free CDN to customers using Cloudflare. Like the majority of the hosting companies on the Internet, GreenGeeks offers 30 days after buying a product in which, if unsatisfied, the customers can get their money back.

GreenGeeks provides 3 Shared Hosting plans. These come with unlimited e-mail accounts; unlimited domain(s) hosted; 1 free domain included; SSL certificate; Free sitebuilder; nightly backups; unlimited MySQL databases and PCI compliance. They come with 5 Reseller plans that are equipped with unlimited SSD web space; unlimited bandwidth; WHMCS license and cPanel accounts. Their 4 VPS hosting options come with RAID-10 storage and 4 cores each. GreenGeeks Dedicated Servers use Intel processors and provide great benefits for customers: 5 IP addresses and 10000 GB transfer.

💰 Price & Cost

Their prices are reasonable, but generally these apply for plans bought by customers on a longer term. Of course, the price one sees initially is highly competitive and way better than prices found at other popular companies. Nevertheless, after the renewal (or if you do not choose a long term contract with GreenGeeks), they apply the regular price, which makes the product rather expensive. However, we also have to take into consideration the number of benefits and features included in the description of their products.

⌛ Reliability

GreenGeeks comes with the 99.9% uptime guarantee for the (potential) customers

🏢 Data Center

Their headquarters are located in Los Angeles, California. They have data centers in:
-Chicago, the USA;
-Phoenix, the USA;
-Toronto, Canada;
-Montreal, Canada;
-Amsterdam, the Netherlands;
Here are a few mentions of the specifications each of these data centers has:
-FM 200 server-safe fire suppression system;
-SAS 70 Type 1 certified;
-Dual-city grid power feeds;

✍️ Customer Support

GreenGeeks offers the standard support possibilities (ask for help by phone, email or live chat), but that’s not all. GreenGeeks offers a series of "How to…" resources to help you, for instance, to transfer a website or to start a blog. More than that, GreenGeeks provides a good knowledgebase and useful website tutorials.

🔨 Control Panel

The customers can have a cPanel dashboard to control and manage their online business or page.

🎯 Conclusion

Pros:
-More than one data center (which offers a better speed performance on the page);
-Green company;
-Good support;

Cons:
-The prices for their products can be misleading;

Testimonials✅ Customer testimonials

I decided to go with another hosting company when I realized how slow my new interactive websites were uploading! My static sites werestill fast so I did some research and found out that my existing host server company had recently been sold and they were not able to upgrade their servers to work well witht the new web 2.0 platforms.

So I had to change. I did my due diligence and researched all the web 2.0 host servers out there. My husband and I truly believe in investing in green, responsible companies. So Green Geeks looked like a good fit!

My migration did not go as quickly as I had hoped but through no fault of Green Geeks. My old host company's slow servers were the culprit again. So now all 16 of my domains have been migrated over to Green Geeks and the interactive website's uploads are much faster now. Yeah!

I highly recommend this company not only for their their commitment to planet earth but also the excellent service of their people who go beyond everyday expectations.

Karen Teeters ( redstarr3@c... ) / illustratedcorvetteseries.com

Great company. They have hosted my web site and have done wonders for the my business. They are dependable with great service. I would recommend them for anybody needing a web host.

😃 High uptime and convenient admin log. But really poor tech support. Several small sites on WP have been deployed, there are still no bells and whistles, the databases are empty, there are very few visitors per day. And every day the server goes off - "out of memory"

-anonymous- (kkk@j...)

😠 Poor email support, underperforming VPS/VDS hardware (we are on shared). WE were also hit with a "site suspended due to excessive resource usage" email.

The worst offending is the support page, which contains outdated & irrelevant knowledgebase articles dating back to at at least 2010.

FAQ covering topics such as "configuration of Thunderbird email client" from 2012. How many clients run Thunderbird in 2019

Get it together guys.....

😁 I've built and maintained websites on several ISPs for about 20 years. Green Geeks wins hands down. The service provided by phone or Live Chat is excellent. The documentation from support has been complete. I don't get unwanted telephone calls purporting to be just "follow-ups" but that really are telemarketing calls from the ISP.. I've had no reason to be concerned about technical issues. Good company and knowledgeable and considerate support staff.

The big plus: Their customer support is amazing.

Im grateful we found GreenGeeks in the beginning.

I anticipate staying with Green Geeks for the rest of my business life. Not only do they do great work, but the really want to help you even when your about to give up because of poor treatment elsewhere. If you want truly professional setvice hire Green Geeks

Very bad hosting for drupal sites

I have got message from this company at Jan 10 -

"Hello Vyacheslav,

It has come to our attention that your user interper has been using excessive resources and your account has been suspended to prevent further service interruption for other customers.

###
###

Right now, you have the option of optimizing or fixing the issue to prevent this from occurring again. If optimizing/fixing the issue doesn't prevent the issue from reoccurring, it means that your account is no longer suitable for the shared hosting environment and you will need to find another web hosting provider. For this, you have two options:

#1. You can be provided with a pro-rated credit and upgrade to our Virtual Private Server service which will allow your heavier site to run on its own segmented virtual slice of a server. See full details here: http://www.greengeeksvps.com/. This means that other customers cannot affect you, and you cannot affect other customers. [read more...]

🗨 Hello Vyacheslav,

I'm sorry that you had issues with our web hosting service. Your account was hosted on our shared hosting platform in which you're given specific computing resources. If your website exceeds those resources, our software will prevent your account from affecting service to our other customers.

Here is an detailed explanation of how resource usage can affect your website: https://kb.greengeeks.com/5267/how-does-resource-usage-affect-my-website/.

All shared hosting providers use this technology and in the case where you've outgrown the shared hosting environment, we recommend that you upgrade.

😠 Too hard to switch to another service. Started the transfer process prior to domain renewal and had to pay green geeks to renew my domain registration before they would release my domain.

🗨 Hello, I'm sorry that you've had issues with our domain transfer process. Unfortunately, we are not able to transfer out domain names that are expired and therefore we must renew the domain registration. This is a limitation imposed on us by our domain registrar.

The renewal extended your domain name for 1 year and you were able to transfer the domain name to the provider of your choice.

If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected].

😠 30 Day Guarantee A Scam/ GreenGeeks is not solvent enough to pay back $148.20 [...]
I signed up for GreenGeeks service on Feb 4th 2013 but my account was not activated
until the 6th because they wanted to verify my identity for the 148.20 I was being
charged for prepaying for 3 years of basic hosting services. (178.20-30.00 discount)
Their web site made it clear they had a 30 day money back guarantee and the
importance of service to GreenGeeks as a company. Two weeks later after a few failed
attempts to answer/resolve some basic service questions/issues I notified them that I
would like to cancel the account. The support individual that made contact with me was
very nice and suggested alternatives before I cancel the service as I still had 2 weeks
left.
Even with the upgraded service, (19.99/mo) I soon realized that I needed a little more
comprehensive a system and notified billing that I would like to cancel the account.
(2/25) A day or so later billing sent me an email saying that in order to cancel the
account I needed to follow some protocol and [read more...]

🗨 Hello, I apologize for the issues that you've faced with us.

Web hosting is a very high fraud industry, and we had to take extra steps to verify your identity to protect you, the card holder and our customers.

GreenGeeks is not in financial distress as this customer claims. We have been listed on the INC 5000 fastest growing companies in America list two years in a row.

The issue was related to the customer not providing the details to proceed with a proper cancellation. After being provided the proper cancellation request, the customer was refunded.

Brad Dalton (brad@w...) / wpsites.net

😠 GreenGeeks Sending Malicous Emails To Affiliates Customers
As a fulltime web designer, my clients trust me to suggest quality hosting, with good service and fast loading times. GreenGeeks had been bombarding me emails trying to get me to refer them business as an affiliate.

I tried them myself last year and quickly moved to another host after experiencing a very poor attitude and service.

I also discovered that they had sent the clients i had referred them, emails of a damaging nature. Real example:

Hello ####,

Please be aware that Mr. Dalton has hijacked your domain and has pointed it away from GreenGeeks. Unfortunately this has broken all the work we have done to resolve problems we discussed earlier in the week.

the Mastercard company think maybe my credit card could have been cloned, it took over 15 days to send another.

Meanwhile, the GreenGeeks hosting account was unpaid.

Solved the problem of the card, I made the payment, asking for a discount, to reactivate the service. Since it had been passed only four days of cancellation.

I started two years ago with GreenGeeks at a great promotional price. Renewal on the second year came at a 100% increase so I let them know via emai I wanted to transfer my domain name and cancel out my account (hosting). It took two weeks of daily emails to finally convince them to allow my domain to transfer to Godaddy. If your in this position keep pressing them.

We apologize for the issues that you've faced with our service. Upon review of this case, we found that the customer was provided sufficient tools to complete the tasks but chose not to implement them.

We disable the cPanel backup facility by default as it is a huge contributor to causing I/O load on the servers which impacts performance. Instead we take nightly backups via a 3rd party tool of which backups are available to those customers.

GreenGeeks is an appropriate name for this web developing company. GreenGeeks lack the ability to properly respond to customer’s questions and requirements, making them inexperienced in dealing with the customer in an appropriate manner.

I requested a full refund from GreenGeeks and was offered a partial credit of $100.00 by Josh Dargie, GreenGeeks Support Manager, [email protected]. The full amount charged was for $148.20. The balance according to Josh Dargie was for processing fees associated with the account. I responded to Mr. Dargie that I would require the charge be reversed and to have the credit show on my Visa account on or before close of business 05/02/12. The credit was not done as requested and did not show on my Visa account until 05/04/12. This was not in accordance with my request for a short or partial refund. This clearly shows their inability to handle requests from their customers.

I just had to cancel my account after a few too many reliability and performance issues. My request was that the prorated amount of my remaining service be refunded back to me and that we both part ways satisfied. Josh Dargie fielded my issue and maintained a 100% robotic standpoint, spouting text from their FAQ and terms as opposed to handling my situation on a case-by-case. He also put the entire blame of my issue on me, attributing it to being a target for hacker attacks. I admit that this did happen, once. But well after other performance related tickets were submitted and I did quickly remedy the issue once notified as it was a security issue with WordPress.

GreenGeeks is one of those companies where they will patch the problem for you and move on, but when you are completely dissatisfied, they fall back on their policy text to "divest" themselves of you. There are so many other cost effective options out there to choose from.

😁 Greengeeks off to good start
I wanted to try a new host and shopped around a lot. My budget for web hosting is limited as I'm still developing ideas and there's no revenue yet directly from web presence. The tryout price for the first year is very good. Renewals are regular price which is normal.
I wish they were able to register ".co" but otherwise good deal.
Do pay attention to the "free" domain name small print. It is reasonable, but there are some potential costs if you cancel within 30 days or don't renew hosting after 12 months. I would recommend using a domain name that you choose solely to set up the account but are willing to abandon if you (for whatever reason) do need to cancel.

The primary benefit of Greengeeks has been the customer service - the 24/7 chat is great when you can't find an answer yourself. Email option has been quick too. I had one fairly serious problem with Wordpress resource usage that they solved quickly.

I've been a client with GreenGeeks for about 6 months. I had an 512 VPS and was spending $40/month for just one of my sites - was concerned about high traffic causing suspensions - GreenGeeks gave me a call and informed me of a service they have as an internal upgrade "Premium Ecosite". They showed me statistics of my VPS and to my surprise I was using less then 20% of the resources. And that my site could fit on this Premium Plan... The amazing thing its only $19.95. THAT'S $20 SAVINGS!!! My sites running faster and I got a bunch of free addons as well... This was amazing. Confirms I chose the best host possible. How many other hosts worry about clients and their payments compared to getting rich off us. I've also decided to start using their affiliate program. There are specific requirements which are kinda confusing but when I followed them I got paid! Its amazing to see that cheque for 500 bucks basically covered all my hosting fees!.

I started with GreenGeeks several years ago when looking for a more eco friendly host. I was coming from a web hosting provider that was down all the time. Keep in mind that I have no idea how to transfer a web site, so I asked GreenGeeks if they would... they said YES! So I gave them a shot. In 24 hours, my site was migrated and running on their servers. I didn't do anything at all to make this happen, except for purchase their service.

My WordPress blog outgrew their shared hosting, and so I needed to move to a VPS, something with more power. Once again, no idea how to migrate a site... their technical team did it all for me!

Sometimes sites can spike in CPU usage and we must make sure that our services are working correctly for all of our clients.

😠 I moved to greengeeks because I was experiencing too much downtime with my previous hosting company. Now it seems that not everything is as the adertise! I run two moodle and one Joomla + coppermine picture gallery on my site. Now greengeeks are threatening to DELETE all of my resorces, students work and pictures because as they state the class it as "file archiving". BEWARE, not all is as it seems! I am extremely dissapointed, harassed, and stressed over this situation, especially in view of the fact that they advertise all of these features namely namely content management systems like moodle, joomla, etc, and now it appears they are not happy with customers using these for their intended purpose!

🗨 This is Trey Gardner CEO of GreenGeeks,

As per the terms of our service we allow unlimited space for web site files (files posted to the site) and we do not allow clients to just store data, pictures, videos etc which are not part of the web site. This is true with all shared, VPS & Dedicated hosting services and there are file archive companies which clients like this can go to so that they may remotely backup information for storage, however this is not what we provide at Green Geeks, we offer excellent web hosting services for web sites not file storage.

thanks & have a great day,

😁 My site is being hosted by SiteCloud for 6 months now, since I started looking for a hoster after a terrible situation with a past host. My site took so long to load at the old host and I needed a new host that was fast and good. I switched to SiteCloud. They help me move my site to their servers and in one day I got my site moved to their network. My english is no good but I call their support and they answered right away and help me as good as they can. My site is very fast now and the my site does not go down. SiteCloud is a good hoster!

😁 It seems like a long time ago, but I came to GreenGeeks after a horrible experience with another budget web host. My site would be down all the time, and I would get the run around regarding the reason why the site was down. I got fed up and started looking for a new host. That's when I found GreenGeeks. I gave them a call and immediately my call was answered and I was talking to a knowledgeable sales rep. What sold me was the fact that they would move the site completely over for me, without me getting involved. That's a great deal because I have no idea how to move my site. Ever since moving my site, I have had nothing but great service with GreenGeeks. My calls are answered, my tickets are dealt with quickly and live chat seems to never sleep. My site reliability and performance can't be something to argue with either. Great host. Period.

I called in their tech support and got Jeff, who was very helpful. He told me that they could help me restore my site files. In a matter of minutes, my site was and files were completely restored from the nightly backups!

I never really trusted some features, only because it sounds too good to be true, but it's really nice to see that it actually sounds good because IT IS true!

😁 My experience with GG started in 2009. I run a eco-conscience business and it was a natural fit for me to select GG to host my site. At first, I thought that GG was full of BS in their commitment to the environment, but after reading more and even checking up with the places, I found that everything they say is in fact true! That goes a long way for me, because it's one thing to say you're green, it's another to actually be green.

My hosting experience with them since I have started has been superb and I have nothing but good things to say about them. The servers are very reliable and fast, I have yet to experience a slow down or outage. I've been confused sometimes, especially at the start when I migrated my site (since I have never done it), but the GG staff took care of my migration from start to finish...

We have had only one incident of down-time the whole time we've been with them -- and that one wasn't their fault. (A major storm knocked out power for several days in the area.)

😉 First I need to be clear. I have not hosted with SiteCloud, but it requires this to be answered.

I've checked around, (and around and around!!) reading as many web site reviews, for many different web hosts as possible, and decided to go with SiteCloud for hosting my web site.

So I e-mailed them 3 questions, (they were very prompt responding!), but they only answered 1 of the 3.

So I reread my original e-mail and thought maybe my questions weren't clear enough? or maybe they thought they weren't questions?, and e-mailed them again.

Again they were very prompt responding, but I still only received 1 out of 2 answers......so now I'm hesitant about paying the high price for a 'month-to-month' fee to see if we suit, prior to paying for a longer, locked-in lower monthly fee.

They were very nice, but I decided to try another host on a month-to-month basis. (for now, anyway)

😠 Green Greeks are Trash. They portray themselves as ethical, environmental. When really they are just Capitalist's cashing in on your environmental beliefs. There are many alternatives to this company.

I switched to a company called EZPZ in the UK after my 13 month nightmare with GG, I thought many of the excuses were normal.

They blamed by SITE, they blamed too many images, bad configuration. When I did some research, they had put me on a shitty overloaded server. Not only do they charge the most, they do not re-invest the profits in good technology and keeping their clients happy. Things started to get bad after 12 months and mistake was to renew my account for another year, thinking that if this was not resolved, they would refund me pro-rata. They did not even have the honor to do that...

This is a trash company. I will be glad when they go bust.

🗨 This is Trey Gardner CEO of GreenGeeks.

Jeremy was a customer of ours. He had an issue with one of his web sites (he hosted several with us) and that web site was using a script which is fully supported by our servers but which had an issue related to a bad plugin or poor configuration on Jeremy's part. Our tech and admin teams did try to help Jeremy but the communication and the assistance by our team was unable to finally assist Jeremy as his site continued to have the issue he had created.

Jeremy signed up in August of 2009 for a 2 year plan and 14 months later decided to cancel. We have a 30 day money back guarantee here which we honor however after 30days (which we make very clear in several areas of the web site) there is no prorated refund which he expected. Our 30 day money back guarantee policy has been the same since our inception. We offer lower prices for longer term contracts.

I wont bother re-listing all their features you can read that on the site but what I do want to do is put your mind at ease, if youve been killin yourself trying to find the right host well you found it, it doesnt get much better then green geeks and its eco friendly, what more could you want?

Ive tried several other hosts in the past and have left unsatisfied but green geeks has been great and I fully recommend them to everyone.

They will not grant me access to the domain name to move to a better hosting service (Go Daddy), even though it is more than one year and the domain name is mine!
They have been rude and unhelpful every step of the way. I like Go Daddy (and Go Daddy is hosted and serviced in the U.S.).

carsium.com - client signed up in October 2009 and asked to cancel a year later. We have a 30 day money back guarantee, there are no refunds after that, 30 days should be a good amount of time for someone to know if they want to cancel especially if they are not getting the service they want.

We offer lower rates for those who want to be locked into longer term contracts and we offer monthly contracts at a higher rate for those who would rather go month to month.

In any of the plans you may purchase with us you should expect and will expect quality customer service.

Part of customer support is assisting clients to understand what tools are available to them and where they can go to get support for those tools.

When wanted to move my site they forced me to use credit card which I refused, since they advertise “proudly accepting PayPal”.
They told me, currently they having issue with PayPal (might be possible) but why I should suffer because of that. I asked them to move my site believing they will fix issues and fulfil their promise to me to accept PayPal. But they refused. After researching all other reviews probably is better to stay away from empty promises. Just look background on their site it is 500kb, ouch.

We have had no issues with PayPal at any time accepting payments since we have started, the only times PayPal has not gone through is when the client does not go to paypal and complete the payment.

😞 I really wanted to like Green Geeks. REALLY REALLY wanted to.
But, I'm just disappointed.
I was attracted to GG because of the 300% carbon footprint offset statements, great pricing, advertised 99.9% uptime, and the fact that they are colocated closer to me than my other host (hostgator).
My problems began almost immediately after signing up. Clients were calling me with complaints about unavailable sites, I was getting site unreachables (some network-based, some server-based), and sporadic slow response times. I emailed support, and they told me it was an abusive user who had been dealt with. I thought, "Okay, good, they must be on it!"
But, the problems were not resolved. More outages, more complaints. More emails to support. More "abusive users". I figured I just needed to give them some time, but just to be sure, I decided to engage a 3rd party monitoring solution to help track response time and uptime.

I do apologize to anyone else on that server who may have been affected at that time.

I needed a faster service. I checked MediaTemple and a few others, but their prices were too much not to mention that they did not have cPanel.

SiteCloud was the best option and I definitely made the right choice. My blog loads very fast. Support moved my site over quickly and I didn't have to do a darn thing except provide them access to my old hosting account.

When I contacted support, they told me that they had a fix for it and would be fixing it shortly, apparently it was a large issue. This morning I got an e-mail saying that the issues were fixed and since then, I see a noticeable increase in performance... reliability is yet to be seen... but so far no 503 errors.

I am giving them a good rating because they were great before. The customer service was upfront and told us they were on it to fix it, and they did it exactly when they said they were going to do it.

We do not have an Andrew as a client with that email address however we do have a Linda W. for the domain name dancegiant.com. I have just contacted her by phone to make sure that her account is ok and to follow up on this complaint which she did not post.

Linda is out of Ontario Canada and the IP where this complaint came from 78.225.164.221 is out of Paris France.

😁 I usually never post on review sites if I am happy... I just recommend and pay the bill month after month, but these guys really charmed me and I had to talk about it! Firstly, I love the fact that they are green... I am a big nature freak and this hits close to home. They go out of their way to make going "green" cool. Secondly, when I moved to them over a year ago, I was having a incredibly difficult time keeping my blog up, my old hosting company would not and could not get my site to stay up, probably horrible servers or something. I used GreenGeeks' free site migration, which was a life saver. Within a few hours, my site was moved over and was running on their servers. I noticed a speed difference right away and my uptime monitoring also pleased my eyes! Since moving to them, I have had no problems communicating with support, sales, billing or anyone at GreenGeeks. The price is very affordable and the service is hands down, unbeatable. Go for these guys if you don't want to [read more...]

I was able to move my Wordpress blog over to SiteCloud very easily from my previous hosting company. Since moving to SiteCloud, I have seen great improvement on speed and reliability! I recently got onto digg and my site did NOT slow down nor did I get suspended, which was pretty awesome!!! The pricing is great. The way they operate is also great. The few times I have used their technical support, it has been a pleasure! If you're looking to get on the cloud and want a affordable and good service, then this is the company for you.

😞 I hardly post reviews but this is one I promised myself I would make. It's been almost a year since I closed my account on GG and with no regrets. Their system is basic, nothing special to offer compared to most other hosts out there.

Coming from a customer service background I find I'm very patient with people on the receiving end, but with GG I was left with no option but to cut short our relationship.

One evening out of nowhere I got a message saying something to the effect of "This website has been suspended, please contact billing department".. not only was this embarrassing but it was also inaccurate. It gave the impression that my website had not been fully paid up for, even though I believe I had paid for the year.

After contacting their support I was told.. "The site was using excessive resources, causing high I/O on the servers. It no longer belongs on the shared hosting environment"

🗨 From Trey Gardner - CEO GreenGeeks

There is a reason why this person was suspended and then handed his money & files back and that is his site was too large to be supported by a shared web hosting company. In these comments you will see that he came to us from a Virtual Private Server which means he had a site that needed a VPS or Dedicated Server - which he asked our prices for and which we told him what the costs were.

I apologize but I have many posts in these areas talking about why larger web sites need larger solutions, this is a case of that where someone who should have been on a larger platform basically tried to downsize their costs to go to a shared host and it did not work for them.

If you have any questions about whether your site should be on a shared hosting platform or something larger please just call one of our tech support reps and ask them. Here are our hours and numbers:

😉 Wanted to host (shared) my wife's wedding photography website, but was told that they do not host images. I followed up with them to find out what they define as "image hosting" and to explain the low traffic volumes of the said site. I did not receive a reply.

Why then can users install Coppermine / Gallery if image hosting is not allowed?

🗨 This is Trey Gardner CEO of GreenGeeks

To clarify image hosting, some people think that this means that they can store thousands or tens of thousands of hi res images in the folders of their web hosting service, never putting those images up into a web site to become part of a web site page but they want to upload these thousands of hi res images so their clients can obtain a login & pick which of these photos from their wedding that they like. This is file storage that are not web site files and this is not allowed otherwise you could have a couple of kids upload all their MP3s, all their burned movies, all their digital photos and a few people could take up the dick space intended to support actual web site customers.

There are online file storage companies available on the internet which are better suited to these needs.

Thanks,

GreenGeeks provides unlimited space and bandwidth, but only limits you on how many accounts you can create. This feature I just love!

The price for the reseller is just amazing, well, just because it doesn't limit you on how much space and bandwidth you can use.

😠 Hi, WE recently move dto Greengeeks after reading good reviews here and having had a lot of downtime with previous service.
However this morning Greengeeks just took our web site offline with no warning and want us to pay for dedicated server. We have a simple web site using TikiWiki and a few users, maybe 200 visitors/week but Greengeeks claim we used more than 80% CPU all attributed to tiki-index.php.
This may be true, as tiki-index does keyword site search but it usually only takes a few seconds at most to search the site.
I think they should give us some warning and a chance to look to correct the site.

If you are using open source software and you don't know how much CPU time it will use be careful, your business web site could just disappear without any warning leaving you in a bad situation with your customers.

This isn't acceptable behaviour for a company that wants to retain customers.

😠 Not sure how has worked with this small company, they may have grate ratings but they have BAD staff with very bad attitudes, I am a reseller with them, I have now been trying to get a restore done of one of my customers.. . the support ticket has been logged 10 hours back, I have phoned them a number of times and they just do not care at all about you or your problems. Spoke to Jonathon he basically told me to bugger off and wait. He will do things when they have time.

Sorry but this is a not how business is done in these hard times.

🗨 This is Trey Gardner CEO of Green Geeks,

I wanted to comment on Denny's complaint, I reviewed his ticket to ensure that our technical support department acted appropriately in this manner. Denny's business is in South Africa which is why there was a slight delay in getting back to him, the issue he had in terms of a client backup off the server would need to have a tier 3 admin take care of that. We have admins who are employed around the clock but the after hours admins (Midnight - 8am PST) are employed to take care of the servers and make sure that they are running properly and that the nightly backups are taking place as they should.

As with all our customers and resellers we recommend that they backup their own web site files at every opportunity so that they can have a local backup and to not rely solely on the backups on our servers. We have an FAQ regarding this instructing all our clients to backup to their own [...]

😁 The quality of service that I have received over the year that I have been with them has been nothing but excellent. Their uptime is terrific, their customer support is always there and responsive. On odd occasions, I do notice their servers get a bit laggy, but within a few seconds it corrects it self. I am not actually sure if it's their servers or my connection.

Wors yet, complain or ask to speak with the owner and they will lable you as "hostile" and shut down your site on the spot without even giving you a chance to move! Worst mistake of my business career. Stay away! The only green these people are into is your money!

Chad (gyrohell@h...) / parasc.info

😃 So far I have no complaints with Green Geeks hosting. The control panel is full of features and fantastico is jam packed with free software. I have experienced no down time or server slow downs, since opening my account. PHP has a lot of extentions installed, all housed on an reliable Apache OS server. Mail server is reliable and so far have had no downtime in that area either.

My only real beef is the signup process was a pain.

I signed up at 8am, was told I would get a confirmation email and a telephone call to confirm my account. Since my email stated I could call them to confirm, I decided to go ahead and get a jump on it and call them at 9am EST (when they open). So, I called them, confirmed my account and was told it would be 30 minutes to an hour for the site to come online. Got on the live chat help after 2 hours (because my site was still offline) with a customer rep (which my wait time was less than a minute), voiced my problem, and was told my question "had been [read more...]

🗨 This is Trey Gardner CEO of Green Geeks responding to this complaint. This complaint was filed by a current customer of our company who paid his monthly invoice for his reseller hosting account on 12-29-09, 7 days after he filed his complaint here which is interesting since by reading his complaint you would have expected him to be hosted elsewhere, perhaps he feels differently regarding our service after we cleared up his issues which seemed to be the reason he posted this complaint.

Looking at this client's tickets I found the latest one which corresponds with the date of this complaint. The issue was regarding backups of his web site files which we have a unique procedure to do (which prevents large loads onto our servers so that the servers run more effectively for all our customers) and the client was informed several times as to how they can backup their information.

I try calling support and they refuse to talk. No warning No nothing .. I paid them one year in advance. I would avoid using them !!!!!!

🗨 This is Trey Gardner, CEO of Green Geeks.

Dale's account was suspended, refunded and canceled not due to overuse of bandwidth but due to overuse of the processors. As we tell all of our potential clients if they have web sites that are going to have excessive use of the processors that they are not recommended in a shared web hosting environment, this is a standard throughout the industry. In these cases we recommend that they purchase a dedicated server so that they can use as much of the processor loads as they like. We offer dedicated server for $160/mo.

Our bandwidth is unlimited as bandwidth in the last few years has become very inexpensive and we have large bandwidth pipes to the internet and our clients site load fast, they are on the same bandwidth as our GreenGeeks.com site and we have thousands of visitors per day.

Dale's web site should be on a dedicated server which i what we recommended an offered to him, he declined and he is going to go to another shared [...]

I eventually moved all my customers to GreenGeeks and the site migration service went off without a hitch. The staff moved everything over for me and I simply switched my DNS.

😠 When I started with Green Geeks they were good. I had a reseller account with them and while there the server I was on crashed, and there have been issues since then. They have also disabled SpamAssassin and the cPanel backups function, stating the are too resource intensive. Trying to get backups of my clients when moving was a nightmare. There were also numerous connection failures reported by monitoring services, and FTP or cPanel file manager uploads averaged 3-10kbps which is pathetic. When brought to supports attention, the standard reply was that there were no errors reported on the server and everything appeared to be working.

I would recommend avoiding Green Geeks, unless you don't care about performance, spam, or backups.

🗨 This is a response by Trey Gardner CEO of Green Geeks.

Steve was a reseller customer of ours and decided to leave. Thank you for allow me to address address his complaint. First, Spam Assassin is a program which can become intensive and which at times we may need to temporarily disable on a server by server basis but which is never permanently disabled and which was not permanently disabled on his server. When we disable Spam Assassin it is usually for no more than several minutes while the admins work on a particular server.

Backups of files in a shared server environment can cause high disk loads especially when a client backs up their files several times to the server, a case in point is that we had a client with a 2 GB site who backed up their site 40+ times, so their 2GB site was actually using ov er 80GB of disk space. The proper way to backup your files so that you have hem is to back them up to your local computer and not to the server which is what we recommend and [...]

🗨 This is Trey Gardner, CEO of Green Geeks.

I have been in the web hosting business for over 10 years. Unfortunately this reseller has decided to leave our service because of a program called AW Stats. Anyone who has used this program before knows that it is a severely limited web site statistics program that has come with the cPanel control panel for as long as I can remember.

In addition we attempted to keep Chris Kauminiski as a reseller client and we did try several attempts to keep his business when he had requested a refund. Our attempts to keep him as a client stemmed from the fact that we knew he and his clients would be better served if he stayed and used a better stats program. In searching through our tickets and communication with Chris the stats program issue seemed to have been the only complaint by him about our service. Ultimately he decided to go elsewhere and he was refunded.

Let me first say that AW Stats is terrible. It was a terrible program 8 years ago [...]

😠 This is the worst hosting company I have dealt with since beginning to host sites over 8 years ago. Their price is average, their features are standard features for CPanel hosting, and they are 300% green. The green part is what motivated me to sign up but it was the worst mistake I made.

First I tried to use shared SSL. Didn't work, support advised me that “shared SSL is 1998 technology” and that I should pay $30 for dedicated IP and $15 for SSL. Why should I when shared SSL was advertised as a feature. I had to send Trey and email, and he did get it resolved. The whole process took 2 weeks; unfortunately the shared SSL is self signed, so it gives a warning and causes a red address bar in browsers. I just let it go, even though other hosts have shared SSL that won't cause browser warnings, I thought not a big deal, I'm helping the environment.

Next I tried to point a website to CPanel instead of changing the NS records. I got an email from support saying it was done. When I [read more...]

I thought it was very cool and decided that my customers would also enjoy the fact that their web sites are hosted "green". My issue was moving half a dozen web sites from Hostgator, since I've never moved from a provider to provider before. I contacted their sales and they claimed to have a free cPanel to cPanel migration service, which I thought was cool. After a few hours of sign up, my accounts were moved from Hostgator to GreenGeeks! It was the easiest thing ever!

First, a DNS problem, I needed to contact level 2 support via email because the tech representative who attended on me via live chat isn’t knowledgeable enough to solve the problem. Actually he can’t figure out the problem and keeps on insisting that everything was okay. I was very frustrated. Next, all my sites were down and I can’t load my cPanel or connect through FTP. I Contacted tech support via email and the first reply I got was, again, “Everything’s okay”. I needed to send another email and explain the problem extensively. (fortunately, I’m a web developer and so I know how web hosting stuff works. If not for my background, the problem may have continued for several days).

We were adviced to use roundcube. BUT we could NEVER get it to save the configurations, as well as other minor problems. The support crew, while polite and prompt, were not able to solve it, and adviced us to change to squirrell. We did. We started having problems with html configurations almost inmediately (emails would get to the consumer in html code, with tags, almost unreadeable)

Yes, they DO answer within half an hour. (forget the "online" chat. they will always send you the email system if is anything more complicated than 2+2) but all we got was "this has been scalated to level 2" then to level 3. At which point we were adviced to use OUTLOOK.

Unfortunately the internal structure and functionality of webmail is not as sophisticated as you see in other email clients. I personally use Squirel mail while on the road but I make sure to backup to my outlook account when I am back at the office.

We worked with Sophia to try to allow her client to do what they had intended to do with the webmail system however as also advised her that the best way for her to move forward was to use a different mail client to do the specific things she wanted to do which webmail is not best suited for.

😁 I have been with GreenGeeks only a short time, as I've indicated, but in that short time I must say I have been very impressed.

I was forced to move from my former hosting service (FutureQuest) due to memory constraints. I am using the Drupal CMS to build my site and have made liberal use of a large number of very helpful modules. In fact, I had created so many new content types and used so many contributed modules that the memory limits at FQ prevented me from being able to administer key areas of my site!

The move from my former host was handled very well and done in a timely manner even with my interference (I'm very hands on).

Because I don't care much for CPanel I cannot give it a great rating. However, the ability to utilize ftp and ssh more than makes up for any type of control panel. It allows one to administer like an administrator.

During this time, no support was available over the phone and only a few emails went out to customers about the problem. Each email was overly optimistic and promised to have all sites back up very shortly. This obviously did not happen. When I finally got someone on the phone he was juggling the conversation on speaker phone while pounding away on his keyboard responding to other customers' emails, etc. After the server was back up Green Geeks offered 3 free months to all customers, but customers had to send an email request to receive this offer rather than having it automatically applied.

Less than one week after this outage, a server reboot caused my website to be down again. The reboot was at 2AM and my site was still down at 10AM. During and after this outage phone calls were not answered, voicemails and emails were not returned, and no explanation [read more...]

I would like to say that Kyle's account did suffer downtime as he stated, we saw a server error that had never happened before but we were able to fully restore all clients accounts on that server from our nightly backups once we had the issue sorted out.

During the entire event we had multiple communication avenues communicating with customers via phones (which were busy and fairly difficult to get through) as well as chats (which was our best means of immediate communication) and emails (which sent 8 total updates to the customers during the outage). I Personally manned the chats and calls along with all of our support personnel and I personally was on chat with Kyle several times during the outage communicating with him about what was happening.

In addition during and after the outage I made 2 phone calls to Kyle as I did with several other customers who had asked for or in Kyle's case demanded a personal follow up call from [...]

😁 I am very happy I have found GreenGeeks. I have been with several hosting companies the last few years and none of them compare to the service that GreenGeeks offers. Their technical support is very knowledgeable and very straight forward, they do not beat around the bush! They get what is required done and if they don't, they explain why and then get it done. I also love the fact that they are very green, more so than the rest of the "green" hosting providers out there.

If you're looking for a quality web hosting provider and want to help the environment (which you should), then GreenGeeks is the hosting company for you.

😁 As a mom I want to make sure that I am doing what I can to help keep this earth in excellent condition for my kids' futures. So when I decided to move BabyShoppingSites.com to a new company, I immediately was drawn to Green Geeks. It has been such a delight to realize that they are super friendly, have excellent customer service, and bend over backwards to not only make sure my transition was seamless (I had ZERO downtime), but that any questions I have are always answered quickly, efficiently, and friendly. All that and I get to help save the planet too? I'll take it!

😁 I never knew that green web hosting even existed until I got fed up with my last host and started looking for a new host! I'm very glad that I found GreenGeeks. Since the moment I gave them a call to ask them about their service about 6 months ago I have been getting amazing service. I also love the fact that they are 300% green and not just 100%. If you're looking for a fast, reliable web hosting company, you need to go with these guys! Highly recommended!
