Review

We were not sure what to expect from GreenGeeks when we signed up for an account to review their services. GreenGeeks was a relatively new hosting company when compared to those established in the 90s. We were wondering:

* Would the sign up be complicated?
* Would the servers be easy to work with & run Joomla well?
* How helpful would the tech support be?
* Is the company really dedicated to using green energy?

We are happy to report that the sign up was easy and straight forward, Joomla was easy to install and configure, there were a few server issues but tech support was able to correct them and GreenGeeks is dedicated to the Green movement.

GreenGeeks was found by Trey Gardener who has over 10 years in the hosting industry. The company & tech support is based in Chicago making them easy to contact (phone, chat & email).

The server that hosted our Joomla site had a hardware failure three months after signing up. The site was down for a day or so which is not good but the communication from GreenGeeks was timely and informative. They kept us in the loop and showed how they learned from the process.

Since then server down time has been kept to a minimum. We are notified via email of any scheduled maintenance. All servers have problems, it was nice to see that GreenGeeks was able to learn from a bad situation.

With GreenGeeks we really like:

* They run cPanel Servers
* Phone and Chat for tech support
* Interest and involvment with the Green movement

If you are looking for a new Joomla Hosting company and want to go with a Green company, it is worth checking out GreenGeeks.

Review

Decided to go with GreenGeeks after reading about them on several sites and being recommended to go with them. Moving my Joomla site over was easy because of the fact that they offer a site migration service. There guys did all of the work for me. All I had to do was sign up, this was a time saver. The green part is very attractive to me, because I am a big green geek myself, it's definitely a plus to be with them on that part. Simply put, alright price, but worth every penny.
