Our verdict

A fair choice for a blog or small business site where cPanel, free migration and an environmental pledge matter. Skip it if you plan to stay several years on a tight budget, because the Lite plan renews at $13.95 a month, almost five times the intro price. The Lite plan is also limited to one website.

Backups are not listed on the shared plan page; nightly backups come from GreenGeeks' own blog and third-party reviews, and one older review stated a shorter retention. Some third-party sites still list Phoenix or Toronto; GreenGeeks' own page lists Chicago, Montreal, Amsterdam and Singapore. Phone support was not shown on the pages read. The order form applies the promotional coupon only to the 12-month term; 24 and 36 months are sold at the regular price (36 months slightly lower per month), month to month at the regular price.
