LiteSpeed WordPress hosting from a host that says it buys renewable energy credits for three times the power it uses.
GreenGeeks gives you WordPress hosting with daily backups and free, unlimited WordPress and email moves. The low intro price needs a year paid upfront, and Lite then renews at $13.95 a month, nearly five times as much. Prices are in US dollars.

How green is GreenGeeks?
GreenGeeks is in the Green Web Foundation's directory of verified green hosting providers (we checked on 1 November 2026).
What the Foundation's verification means
GreenGeeks says it buys renewable energy certificates equal to three times the electricity it estimates it uses, through the Bonneville Environmental Foundation, and its certificate covers 300% of its estimated 2025 use. The certificates are North American and bought separately from its power, so they add no clean supply at its data centres, two of which are in the Netherlands and Singapore. The 300% is three times an estimate, not a measured figure.
Four data-centre locations a customer can choose between; the operators are not named.
The data centres we list are in 4 countries, whose grids average 332 g CO2e per kWh, against 218 g in the UK. Lower is cleaner.
The grid in each country
| Country | Grid average | Year |
|---|---|---|
| United States | 384 gCO2e/kWh | 2025 |
| Canada | 192 gCO2e/kWh | 2025 |
| Netherlands | 254 gCO2e/kWh | 2025 |
| Singapore | 497 gCO2e/kWh | 2025 |
