GreenGeeks is a U.S.-based web hosting company founded in 2008 and headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware. They operate data centers in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia, serving customers in more than 150 countries. GreenGeeks stands out for its eco-friendly approach, offsetting three times the energy they consume by purchasing renewable energy credits from wind power and planting a tree for every new account. Their hosting lineup covers shared, reseller, VPS, dedicated, and WordPress plans, all backed by SSD-powered servers, nightly backups, free SSL certificates, and 24/7 security monitoring for speed and reliability. Customers often praise their fast response times, helpful support team, and easy-to-use control panel, making them beginner-friendly while still offering tools like Git, SSH, and WP-CLI for developers. Pricing starts at $2.95 per month for the Lite shared plan with 25 GB of storage and unmetered bandwidth. Higher tiers, such as Pro ($4.95) and Premium ($8.95), add more storage, stronger performance, premium SSL, and higher resources for growing sites or online stores. With a 30-day money-back guarantee and free website migration, GreenGeeks provides a mix of strong features, dependable service, and sustainable hosting that appeals to individuals and small to mid-sized projects.
Founded in 1979 and now part of Newfold Digital, Network Solutions is one of the oldest names in web services. Headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, they offer a variety of shared hosting plans tailored for individuals and small businesses, including Linux and Windows-based options, WordPress-specific plans, and bundled email and domain services. Their hosting includes practical features like a proprietary site builder, unmetered bandwidth, and generous email allotments. Network Solutions emphasizes uptime and long-term stability, though some users note areas where the platform could modernize. While support and pricing receive mixed feedback, many long-time customers continue to rely on the brand for its all-in-one convenience and broad service coverage.
