Eco-friendly and Green

As the Internet usage is growing very fast, approximately 500% by each year, over the world, the total cost on the power to support facilities was 3 billion USD in US and 7 billion USD worldwide in 2011. It’s estimated, if the internet usage keeps such fast growing, by the end of 2021, the web hosting industry will be one of the largest pollution and carbon output source, rather than airplanes. With the huge requirement on the power for internet facilities, the more and more people have been aware of environment protection, then green web hosting comes out.

GreenGeeks powers the web hosting infrastructure complete by Wind energy. In the case that they use 1 time the amount of energy used by their infrastructure pulled from the power grid, they will purchase the 300% wind energy credits to put back into the grid. This is how the green web hosting service contributes to our world.

As the research, by leveraging the wind-power, GreenGeeks reduces the emitting carbon by 2 thousands of tons in every year.

Performance

GreenGeeks is one of the fastest shared web hosting service of all that we have reviewed for personal and small businesses. GreenGeeks invests hundreds of thousands USD in every year to keep their web hosting infrastructure up-to-date. Their 2 colocated data centers from Singlehop in the US and Canada utilize 4 separate fiber lines from 3 network providers with the direct access to the Internet and the on-demand network capacity exceeding 6,000 MBits.

Our editors had done the performance comparison for the same WordPress site with the same content hosted with GreenGeeks, BlueHost, HostGator and Godaddy. As a result, GreenGeeks is 90% faster than HostGator and 150% faster than the well-known domain registrar GoDaddy, as the following performance comparison result chart.

Reliability

GreenGeeks network is routed by the top of the line Juniper edge routers and aggregated through Cisco and Juniper switches. As a high quality web hosting partner, the network is connected directly to most major internet bandwidth providers, which have been selected based on routes to compliment. The network gear is completely redundant all the way down to the uplinks that link up GreenGeeks cabinets, and to the providers that they have selected, along with the entry-points in to the facility.

As the servers and network infrastructure upgrading frequently, GreenGeeks keeps investing for the upgrade yearly. When you sign up with them, you can be sure to be provisioned on to servers with the following specifications:
