GoGreen Hosting pride themselves on thinking globally and acting locally. The company offsets 100 per cent of their energy needs by purchasing renewable energy credits from a wind farm in Oklahoma, where Go Green Hosting is based.
GoGreen Hosting also touts its strong ethics policy, which includes commitment to customers, honest marketing and environmental and community ideals. Go Green Hosting strives to be a sustainably sized hosting provider that focuses on green and socially conscious businesses. But being eco-friendly is just part of the equation, of course.
GoGreen Hosting is business friendly, especially for small- and medium-size enterprises looking for a smaller, more personal, web hosting service. As a smaller company, Go Green Hosting promotes their ability to meet your changing needs quickly and efficiently. If you need something, just ask! GoGreen Hosting uses robust and reliable FreeBSD servers, similar to UNIX, known for their incredible uptime, stability and speed.
Price Value
GoGreen Hosting is not the cheapest on the market, at a base price of $9 a month if you sign on for a year. But for those looking for short-term commitments, the price barely rises, starting at $10 for month-to-month payments. Go Green Hosting offers competitive service and features, though there is no SSL support for value and business plan customers.
Reliability
GoGreen Hosting's FreeBSD servers have proven reliability and the company boasts 99.9% uptime. Their servers are state of the art, lightly loaded, and housed at secure, tier 1 network centers right on the Internet backbones.
Control Panel
Every client of Go Green Hosting receives cPanel, the powerful and time-tested control panel most favored by web designers. cPanel will allow you to view website statistics at the click of a mouse, install scripts, view error logs, add additional email addresses or set up additional FTP accounts without knowing any technical commands. Having cPanel at your disposal is a real advantage.
Customer Support
Customer relations are a priority for GoGreen Hosting. Staff are able to cater to their clients' needs much differently than a large, impersonal company would. Support runs on a ticket system; there is no live phone or IM chat support.
