Why GreenGeeks voucher pricing jumps from $2.95 to $13.95 at renewal — plan your real hosting costs
GreenGeeks advertises shared hosting from $2.95/month on the initial 12-month term, but when your plan renews, the rate increases to the standard monthly price — $13.95 for Lite, $18.95 for Pro, and $30.95 for Premium. To get the best value, lock in the longest promotional term you can afford. The difference between the promo and renewal rate is substantial, so knowing the real long-term cost before you sign up matters.
GreenGeeks Ecosite plans compared: Lite, Pro, and Premium features side by side
All three shared hosting tiers include unmetered bandwidth, free Let's Encrypt SSL, free Cloudflare CDN, and a free domain name for the first year. The key differences lie in storage capacity, CPU allocation, and how many websites you can run from a single account.

|---|---|---|---|
| Promo price (12-mo) | $2.95/mo | $4.95/mo | $8.95/mo |
| Standard renewal | $13.95/mo | $18.95/mo | $30.95/mo |
| SSD storage | 25 GB | 50 GB | 100 GB |
| CPU cores | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| RAM | 1 GB | 2 GB | 3 GB |
| Domains hosted | 1 | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Email accounts | 50 | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Premium SSL | Add-on | Add-on | Included |
What the 300% renewable energy commitment means in practice
GreenGeeks purchases three times the energy it consumes in the form of renewable wind energy credits through the Bonneville Environmental Foundation. For every kilowatt-hour used by their servers, 3 kWh of wind energy enters the grid. This has no effect on server speed or uptime — the hardware performs identically — but it means your hosting has a net-positive environmental footprint, which is rare in the industry.
For businesses in the UK that promote sustainability or need to report on carbon impact, hosting with GreenGeeks provides a measurable, verifiable claim. Multiple independent reviews have confirmed the 300% renewable energy matching figure.

The 30-day money-back guarantee: what is and isn't refundable
GreenGeeks provides a full refund on hosting charges within 30 days of signup. If you purchase a 12-month Lite plan at $2.95/mo ($35.40 total) and cancel within the first month, the hosting fee is refunded. Setup fees, add-on services, and domain registrations are excluded from the refund. If you claimed the free domain offer and then cancel, the standard domain registration fee will be deducted from your refund amount.
The money-back policy does not apply to dedicated servers or special promotions that explicitly state non-refundable terms. If you're transferring an existing website, test everything — email routing, SSL certificates, database connections, and page performance — within the 30-day window to make sure the migration succeeded.
Does GreenGeeks include free website migration?
Yes. New GreenGeeks accounts receive free website transfers. Request migration through cPanel or contact the support team after signing up. Most transfers complete within 24 hours, covering files, databases, and email accounts.
Can I switch from Lite to Pro before my term ends?
Yes. You can upgrade at any time by paying the prorated difference for the remaining billing period. The upgrade is applied immediately with no service interruption, and your resource limits increase to match the Pro tier.
Is shared hosting enough for a busy WordPress site?
The Pro or Premium shared plan with LiteSpeed caching handles WordPress sites with up to roughly 50,000 monthly visits. For higher-traffic sites, resource-heavy WooCommerce stores, or sites running membership plugins, the VPS plan from $69.95/mo provides dedicated CPU and memory.
