Below, see the various features each plan offers and how GreenGeeks compares with other WP hosting providers.<\/p>\n<h2>GreenGeeks: An EPA &#8220;Green Power&#8221; Partner<\/h2>\n<p>True to its name and mission, GreenGeeks became a U.S. EPA &#8220;Green Power&#8221; partner in 2009. The California-based hosting provider purchases &#8220;wind energy certificates equal to three times its web hosting servers energy consumption.&#8221; Moreover, the EPA certifies that 93% of the energy GreenGeeks consumes comes from &#8220;green&#8221; power.<\/p>\n<p>This means that almost all of the electricity GreenGeeks uses is generated with &#8220;no fossil-fuel-based greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.&#8221; Those who prioritize carbon-negative WP hosting can be confident that GreenGeeks does its part to reduce the environmental impact caused by the world&#8217;s data centers.

They include:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Unlimited web space<\/li>\n<li>Unlimited data transfer<\/li>\n<li>Free domain name for the first year<\/li>\n<li>nightly backup Free<\/li>\n<li>Free content delivery network (CDN) via Cloudflare<\/li>\n<li>Unlimited email accounts<\/li>\n<li>WP Installer\/Updates<\/li>\n<li>Unlimited databases<\/li>\n<li>LightSpeed Cache included<\/li>\n<li>30-Day money-back guarantee<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Additionally, All Plans Receive 24\/7 Customer Support.<\/h3>\n<p>Note that with GreenGeeks&#8217; &#8220;Lite&#8221; plan, customers receive only one website while the &#8220;Pro&#8221; and &#8220;Premium&#8221; offer an unlimited <a href=\"https:\/\/weblizar.com\/blog\/diy-websites-10-great-tips-for-building-a-diy-website-for-your-business\/\">number of websites<\/a>. Also, while all plans provide a free <a href=\"https:\/\/computer.howstuffworks.com\/encryption4.htm\">Secure Socket Layer<\/a> (SSL) certificate\u2014to encrypt and protect user data \u2014the Premium plan goes further with a premium SSL certificate. Etailers use enhanced SSL to secure online transactions. The Premium plan also provides a free dedicated IP address.<\/p>\n<h2>GreenGeeks WordPress Hosting Packages<\/h2>\n<p>What defines these plans is the magnitude of system resources each package furnishes.

After answering some questions and a click of a mouse, the setup is complete. There is no need to download or extract files, configure connections, or build a database\u2014the installation wizard performs these tasks automatically. Updates are performed automatically, too.<\/p>\n<p>A convenience GreenGeeks provides not commonly found elsewhere is free site migration. If one needs to move a WP site from another hosting provider, GreenGeeks&#8217; site migration specialists perform the transition. This service is invaluable for those who grow queasy at the thought of creating and populating new website databases or reconfiguring applications.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also, check out: <\/strong><a title=\"9 Best Online Marketing Tools: Help to Grow Your Business 2024\" href=\"https:\/\/weblizar.com\/blog\/best-online-marketing-tools\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Best Online Marketing Tools: Help to Grow Your Business 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Comparing GreenGeeks&#8217; WP with Competitors<\/h2>\n<p>Foremost, GreenGeeks WP sites are built with speed in mind. Since web visitors expect their pages to load in less than a second, load times are of paramount importance.<br \/>\nAs alluded to above, GreenGeeks deploys LiteSpeed servers.<\/p>\n<p>These servers are twice as fast as Apache servers used by many hosting providers. An independent researcher found that websites hosted under the GreenGeeks&#8217; EcoLite plan loaded in 454 ms, twice as fast as the industry average of 890 ms. Too, GreenGeeks utilizes the MariaDB <a href=\"https:\/\/techterms.com\/definition\/rdbms\">Relational Database Management System<\/a> (RDBMS), a refinement over the MySQL RDBMS.<\/p>\n<p>While many hosting providers still use MySQL, MariaDB delivers overall better performance with faster privilege checks for setups, speedier checksum tables, and other enhanced features.<\/p>\n<p>Also, GreenGeeks specifically optimizes WP with the Cloudflare content delivery network (CDN), the world&#8217;s fastest CDN. With the global Cloudflare CDN, GreenGeeks compensates for its lack of data centers in Asia, South America, Africa, and Oceania.<\/p>\n<p>Note that GreenGeeks now hosts websites from five data centers located in North America and Europe. Canadian users in particular should enjoy blazing-fast response times when using GreenGeeks.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion &#8211; GreenGeeks WordPress Hosting Packages<\/h2>\n<p>An entrenched, eco-responsible provider, GreenGeeks has forged a reputation for fully-supported WP hosting catering to both experienced and neophyte web developers. It provides expert 24\/7 support and a vast knowledge base of articles and website tutorials. Secure and powerful, GreenGeeks should be considered by anyone building a WP site or migrating it from another hosting provider.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GreenGeeks WordPress Hosting Packages: Acknowledged as a leading eco-friendly hosting provider, GreenGeeks provides a variety of hosting packages including a managed WordPress (WP) hosting platform.
