Shared web hosting is competitive, and the overall list of services is healthy. The company\u2019s modern approach to support through social media adds to the appeal, and with a free cPanel demo and a money-back guarantee, this is one host that works hard to earn your business.<\/p>\n<h2>GreenGeeks Reviews \u2013 What Do Customers Say About GreenGeeks?<\/h2>\n<p>GreenGeeks is prolific enough that you can find plenty of online reviews by looking them up on Google. Most of the reviews are positive, with many comments from reviewers saying the same things. For example, a recurring theme is how good the customer service is.<\/p>\n<p>Customers rave about how helpful service agents are. They talk about how GreenGeeks technicians are always there to answer their questions. Techs are available to help them fix problems and are generally knowledgeable about what it is they are doing. Reviewers often mention chat-based support as well.<\/p>\n<p>Though you can get help over the phone or through GreenGeeks&#8217; ticketing system, customers truly appreciate the chat service. Live chat gives them access to customer service and technical support at a moment&#8217;s notice.<\/p>\n<p>Another recurring theme among reviewers is GreenGeeks&#8217; pricing structure. Customers appreciate that the company&#8217;s pricing structure is competitive. This is to say that it is not the cheapest provider on the block, but it is also not the most expensive. When reviewers say that pricing is competitive, they are essentially saying they are getting good value for money.<\/p>\n<p>Negative reviews are honestly hard to find, but they are out there. Among the few people unhappy with GreenGeeks, the most commonly recurring criticism is that the company tends to raise prices without warning. Some customers believe GreenGeeks price increases have been excessive in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>One last complaint is that GreenGeeks doesn&#8217;t give refunds to customers who auto renew but then choose not to stay with the company for a full year. Whether right or wrong, this is common practice in the web hosting industry. It might be more risky with GreenGeeks because they offer multi-year subscriptions that can lock you in for longer than you want to be.<\/p>\n<h2>GreenGeeks vs HostPapa<\/h2>\n<p>GreenGeeks and HostPapa tend to be fairly equal in terms of overall ratings offered by different review sites. Both offer a 30-day money-back guarantee and a free domain name for the first year of shared hosting plans. GreenGeeks wins in the storage department by offering unlimited plans to all shared hosting customers. HostPapa offers unlimited plans as well, but the cheapest plans have limits.<\/p>\n<p>GreenGeeks also offers free site migrations for new customers while HostPapa does not. Where HostPapa really excels is in VPS hosting. They offer unlimited domains, websites, and email hosting along with a free cPanel\/WHMCS license. GreenGeeks&#8217; VPS hosting doesn&#8217;t give you nearly as much.<\/p>\n<p>Both companies are fairly equal when it comes to WordPress and Site Builder hosting. Disk space is unlimited for both and domain names are free for one year. The only difference seems to be that GreenGeeks&#8217; storage is SSD.<\/p>\n<h2>GreenGeeks vs WHC.ca<\/h2>\n<p>Where HostPapa seems to compare with GreenGeeks fairly evenly, WHC.ca does not. Right off the top, WHC.ca doesn&#8217;t score as high on the reliability factor. Their pricing is not as competitive either and their basic shared hosting plans come with unlimited bandwidth but only 1 GB of storage space. By contrast, GreenGeeks offers unlimited space and bandwidth for shared hosting customers. They are more expensive though, costing a few dollars more without promos or discounts.<\/p>\n<p>VPS plans are split among the two companies. GreenGeeks offers a bit more storage and more RAM at a much cheaper price. On the other hand, WHC.ca wins the price war for dedicated servers. For less than half the cost of GreenGeeks dedicated server plan, WHC.ca gives you twice as much storage and double the CPU power.<\/p>\n<p>GreenGeeks does get a better overall rating in most reviews. However, WHC.ca does have a few strong points that GreenGeeks cannot match.<\/p>\n<h2>GreenGeeks vs Rebel.com<\/h2>\n<p>It is difficult to do a detailed comparison between GreenGeeks and Rebel.com as information on the latter is not widely available. We know that GreenGeeks offers a variety of hosting plans with shared hosting being the most popular. Their shared hosting comes with unlimited storage space and bandwidth.<\/p>\n<p>Rebel.com shared plans are also unlimited in storage and bandwidth. Like GreenGeeks, Rebel.com also offers free site migration to new customers. They differ in that they offer customers a choice of the server they want their sites hosted on. Rebel.com also offers the Onyx control panel where GreenGeeks offers cPanel.<\/p>\n<p>Both providers give users plenty of email accounts along with one-click WordPress installation. Both offer different hosting plans for business, though Rebel.com has a business plan GreenGeeks doesn&#8217;t offer: clustered hosting. All clustered hosting plans come with free migration, setup assistance, and customer support.<\/p>\n<h2>GreenGeeks Review Conclusion \u2013 Should You Use GreenGeeks?<\/h2>\n<p>GreenGeeks is one of the more well-known names in web hosting in North America. Now that the company is in Canada, it is at least worth taking a look at. GreenGeeks opens with extremely competitive pricing on all their plans. That pricing is enhanced by their unlimited mindset. You get a lot for your money.<\/p>\n<p>Hosting through GreenGeeks is best suited for small businesses looking for affordable shared hosting services and larger companies in need of enterprise solutions. It is also a strong contender for customers who need a lot of technical support.<\/p>\n<p>People who are technologically gifted and not in need of all the bells and whistles can certainly find more affordable hosting elsewhere. That makes GreenGeeks less than favourable for resellers and IT experts just looking for some cheap server space.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, <a href=\"https:\/\/webhostingsites.ca\/go\/greengeeks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><strong>GreenGeeks<\/strong><\/a> gets a good rating and is suitable for most web hosting needs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a class=\"button-red\" title=\"GreenGeeks\" href=\"https:\/\/webhostingsites.ca\/go\/greengeeks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><strong>GreenGeeks.ca<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Founded in 2006 with the goal of becoming the premier green energy Web hosting company in the industry, GreenGeeks has grown and expanded to achieve its goal thanks to ambitious CEO Trey Gardner and a management team with over 40 years\u2019 experience in managed Web hosting.
