Shared Hosting Plans

GreenGeeks offers shared hosting, an entry-level hosting tier that stores your website on a server with other websites. Think of an apartment building, with your site sharing the complex with many other tenants. As a result, the sites split the server's cost and resources. The upside? Shared web hosting is low-cost web hosting. The downside? Sharing server resources can adversely affect your website's performance if one of your server neighbors gets a viral traffic hit.

GreenGeeks' shared hosting has three plans: Lite, Pro, and Premium. Lite (starting at $12.95 per month) covers a single website and gives you 25GB of storage and 50 email accounts. The Pro plan (starting at $17.95 per month) has unlimited websites, 50GB of storage, and unlimited email. Premium (starting at $29.95 per month) offers 100GB of storage and a dedicated IP address. GreenGeeks offers discounted rates for annual commitments and first-time subscriptions.

All shared plans have several useful, free features, including a domain name (with an annual plan), SSL certificate, data backups, site migration, and caching for swift load times. GreenGeeks supplies each package with unlimited data transfers, which is a nice buffer if your website enjoys a traffic surge.

Like all of GreenGeeks' hosting packages, the shared servers run on Linux.

WordPress and WooCommerce Plans

WordPress is a popular, easy-to-use content delivery system (CMS) that powers approximately 40% of all websites. Like many web hosting services, GreenGeeks offers WordPress-focused plans with multiple site-enhancing plug-ins.

Likewise, WooCommerce is an e-commerce platform for WordPress that facilitates the creation of online stores and businesses by providing all the management systems you need to run them. If you want a website with a shopping cart, checkout page, inventory management, payment system, and order processing, you'll want WooCommerce.

GreenGeeks' WordPress and WooCommerce plans follow the same naming and pricing as its shared plans and include the same features. The only notable difference is the one-click WordPress installation, which makes setting up and launching a site easy. WooCommerce works the same way.

GreenGeeks' WordPress and WooCommerce plans are competitively priced compared with other services. However, A2 edges out GreenGeeks due to unlimited storage across the board. This will benefit anyone uploading large media files accessible to others.
