Support is amazing. Server performance is much much better. choice of Canadian data centres.
The pricing is kind of pricier than other web hosting companies, but their service makes up for the price.
Data reside problems, privacy concerns. fast website performance.
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.
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.
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
Cheap price, nice quality and very good service. I have used many host and i feel this is one of the best.
Sometime, i get some errors about payment
I'm always looking for a good hosting because i want to make the best website and GreenGeeks is so suitable.
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.
They do provide some great offers when we are starting, but their price increases after using it for the initial years.
They have one of the fastest servers out their, which makes our website load pretty faster. Easy to use
They have a good solid support, online chat as well as phone support that you can contact at all hours.
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.
I use greengeeks for a shared hosting solution for most of my clients. Easy to use, solid pricing and phone support for my clients.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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"."
I have a startup company that needs reliable web hosting and GreenGeeks offers great uptime and nightly backups.
The ease of checking and availability and registering a domain and relative process experience
The payment options and ability to use the host for evaluation purposes prior to signup
Overall simple hosting for smaller company business, we did however move to another platform
