Green Geeks Customer Reviews



***This is the WORST hosting ever!!! WARNING***

And the support are TERRIBLE, just made you promises and no real solutions. I´m very dissapointed with this people. The servers are so crouded that crashes every other day. I must buy a web monitoring system, so I can see the real uptime (and damage) this bad host are doing to me... the website are: internetseer.com This is the only way I can track all the faults in this poor service, so I can take legal actions against them. If you want your websites go down, have a terrible support, and be angry because the lame service in general, you must buy a package here... p.d. I have more than 20 websites with greengeeks.com

Never for a business web site

I have some relatives that host their small business web site with a Dreamhost shared hosting plan and almost never in four years had their system down. Looking for a drupal-friendly and ecologically conscious similar option, I decided for GreenGeeks shared hosting. After less than one year I decided to cancel their service because their server had a downtime of around 1% (which means one potential customer of ever 100 will never get to see your site, no matter how much he want to wait for it to load) and they had an "average" response time (which doesn't include the time spent downloading the web page) of more than double from the other sites hosted at Dreamhost. That also means many customers loss that simply don't want to wait more than the usual time. All the attempts to solve the issue with technical support were usless. I had no interest in making the effort to migrate my site. But they always gave me excuses and didn't make any effort to improve those response times. I have been monitoring my website with serviceuptime.com and all the response times and outages come from those statistics (which are very reliable) Now that I finally moved my site to Linode, the response times had decreased to around half of what I had with GreenGeeks. To sum up, if you want to run a business (no matter how small) don't trust GreenGeeks.

Not worth it at any cost

Everything we have hosted on their servers is so slow that it is often unusable. We have page timeouts in excess of 5% and during peak times the sites are almost never up. They say unlimited bandwidth but in reality the bandwidth is very limited by their capacity. We won't use them again. The response that we get from their support team is not helpful but I suspect that there is not much the technical team can do. I suspect they have just sold more than they can deliver with the infrastructure they have in place. Don't ever buy hosting on a long term contract. There is almost always a reason that they want to get your money all up front.

A very refreshing difference to my previous hosts

Right of the bet: I would highly recommend using GreenGeeks as a Webhost. I have been a client with several host before switching my domains to GreenGeeks and in any single case I was frustrated with the service provided as well as the technical support. The first day I switched to GreenGeeks I experienced how it could be: the support is outstanding, every request I had was processed within minutes! (and not days as with some other hosts) and the best thing was the GreenGeeks staff resolved the request to my complete satisfaction, which was a first for me. If anyone is looking for a reliable, competent and affordable webhost: GreenGeeks is the best I have ever encountered!

The best

Ive been with several others before and greengeeks stands out as one of the best. I won't go I to too much detail but they actually provide the service that they advertise. No fuss. Recommended.

Great green company !

I have a reseller account since one year today and finally, I really like GreenGeek. Seriously, getting chat support in 5 secs. it's very rare. What about uptime ? Recently, I got a 48 hours downtime... but, it was a bad luck because it was their first big crash in 6 years. For the rest of the time, it's just amazing ! Unlimited space and bandwith for this price, you can't complain. If you are not happy, just start your own server and try to do your best! Thank you very much GreenGeeks !

Fabric Friends - Green Geeks

Since our transition from ipower, GreenGeeks has been very beneficial to us for space management and reliability for our eCommerce site. They are available 24/7 when you need to ask even the simplest of questions, and the price is hard to beat. We recommend them and hope we can continue our partnership for years to come.

I love greengeeks

I absolutely love greengeeks. My site got hacked on the 30th of this month. I had no backups and had no idea what to do. I called them late In the evening, got a fellow by the name Mark who offered to look into the back ups to get the site up and running. In about 10 minutes my sites were back up and running. I went on further to secure my site as I was running older versions of Wordpress. Greengeeks saved my life. I will never forget that! Totally worth it.

Amazing service. Great quality.

Greengeeks offers great service. I've yet to have an issue with them that goes unresolved with great care by the techs. Sign up with greengeeks of you're in the market for a dependable hosting provider.

*** 2 DAYS SERVER DOWN***

The Tech support are horrible, the servers are so crouded that you share your "unlimited" hosting with thousands of other sides, spammers include... The "unlimited" part is a LIE, the truth about it is that you share the server with more clients every day, so the result of this was a server crash that last more that 48 hours... I won´t recommend this hosting to anyone, there a lot of sites out there 100 times better than this one... The uptime is a joke, 4 times this year with more than 10 hours each, I won´t recommend this to a growning bussiness, or any other who wants to... A part of the "issue" is here: "The server entered a mandatory file system check (FSCK). Under normal circumstances, this can take anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours. Unfortunately, the automated FSCK process failed to recover the file system which resulted in a corrupt, unusable file system. In otherwords, data loss." A LIE, THE THUTH WAS FOR 2 DAYS!!?? BE WISE AND DONT USE IT, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
