GreenGeeks review
Solid shared hosting with a carbon-offset angle · Founded 2008 · US
Our verdict
Competent, unspectacular shared hosting with a genuine renewable-energy offset programme. Choose it if the environmental angle matters to you; performance is mid-pack.

- Free nightly backups
- Free domain for the first year

What we did not

- Renewal about 3.7x intro
- Performance reports are middling
What it actually costs
checked 28 Jul 2026The advertised price applies to your first term only. Here is the same plan over three years.
For comparison, the cheapest renewal we track is MilesWeb at $2.28/mo — about $140 a year less than GreenGeeks once the intro term ends. Whether that matters depends on what you get for the difference; read both.

Who it is for
Someone who wants competent shared hosting and cares that the energy use is matched by renewable purchase (GreenGeeks states a 300% match).
Pricing shape
Lite renews near $13.95 from a $2.95 intro — around 4.7x. Mid-pack for this list.
Coverage
Four datacenters: Chicago, Montreal, Amsterdam and Singapore. The Singapore region makes it more viable for Asian audiences than it once was.
