Editor’s Review & Recommendation

GreenGeeks Overview
When I was first giving GreenGeeks the once-over I was at first a little distressed that they seemed to only offer shared hosting plans. Then I found their VPS and dedicated server solutions buried at the bottom of their website which highlighted to me where their priorities were.
GreenGeeks ticks all the right boxes for those looking for a good web host. Their shared plans are impressive though and you can get many freebies here that other hosts wouldn’t hesitate to charge a premium for. Some examples of this include HTTP/2 access, tools for developers, free wildcard SSL, free domain for a year – the list goes on.
Even more impressive is that they have managed to cap the price of all of this to very decent figures, even considering increased prices upon renewal which almost all web hosting companies are doing.
GreenGeeks Hosting for Different Users
1. For Newbies and Individual Bloggers
Green hosting might not be the focus for bloggers and newbies to the web scene but the solid plans that GreenGeeks offers choices that are hard to beat.
