Without wasting more time, let’s check out some of the pros and cons of GreenGeeks hosting.
Green Hosting with lots of great features
Just like most shared hosting providers, Green Geeks provide all the features you need to host a small-to-medium website.
Unlimited bandwidth and disk storage, one-click web apps installation supported with Fantastico, and a huge list of supported e-commerce features. Things seems pretty standard here with Green Geeks – which is a good thing as this means you can get whatever you got from other web host, in CLEAN energy.
300% Green Powered Hosting
At Green Geeks, all customer’s websites are 300% green. I repeat, not 100, or 200, it’s 300%!
How is this possible? Well, the company replaces, with wind power, 3 times the amount of energy consumed by their web servers. I was skeptical about all these ‘green achievements’ in the beginning but after checking on a recent certification (see below), I determined that the company just purchased over 2.3 million MW of clean, renewable energy in March 2009.
Another thing I like about GreenGeeks is the ‘safety’ I get when hosting with them. According to the officials, GreenGeeks servers are built on Intel Dual Quad Core servers with RAID-10 array technology; plus, GreenGeeks servers are backup daily.
This gives me peace of mind and I have no worries about the ‘what-if’ issues.
