Green Geeks Review
Even though Green Geeks Hosting has only been around since 2006 they have already made a name for them selves.
Green Geeks Hosting is the winner of our 2011 “Best Green Web Hosting” award!
Not only are they a great web hosting provider, they are a green eco-friendly web hosting provider. As a matter of fact, for every 1X of power they use, they put back 3X of wind energy credits. This allows their customers to say that their web sites are 300% green and why they win our award for Best Green Web Hosting of 2011.

Hosting Value
Though Green Geeks is not the cheapest web hosting company reviewed here on KnockOutHost.com, they do offer a lot of great features. It can be even pricier if you decide to pay month to month…
Pricing Options
$4.95 per month when you pay for 3 years ($178.20)
$6.95 per month when you pay for 2 years ($166.80)
$7.95 per month when you pay for 1 year ($95.40)
$14.95 per month + $15.00 setup fee when you pay month to month
It might be hard for some people to be locked in a 3 year hosting plan however they do offer a 30 days money back guarantee.
Is Green Geeks Web Hosting a good value? It’s hard to say because it depends on your individual needs and which payment option you choose to make.

Performance
Looking for performance? How about Intel Dual Quad Core Xeon processors with 8GB of ram, Large Raid 10 storage arrays and 100 Mbps connectivity to their switches? I would call that high performance!
Our performance test results were quite impressive. Page loads were fast. If your going to be running WordPress, Joomla or Drupal, this is the hosting company for you.
Reliability And Security
Green Geeks clients have come to trust their reliability over the years. Unlike other hosting companies, they don’t try to squeeze as much clients they can on a single server so you don’t have to worry about servers being overloaded and your site going down.
Green Geeks Web Hosting also provide a nightly backup of your data. If one of their servers fail they can quickly provision your backup data on a new standby server.
Our tests results show a 99.91% up-time.
Customer Support
Communication between tech support and clients is very important and Green Geeks knows this. That is why they only hire a North American support staff who speaks and understands English well.
Our test call proved Green Geeks Hosting support to be friendly and knowledgeable.

I’ve been hosting my site on Green Geeks for only 2 weeks now but so far im very satisfied.
I was with start logic hosting before and my wordpress site would load at a crawling pace. That all changed when green geeks helped me move my site to their servers. The support staff was great and they were eager to help.
Highly recommended!
