GreenGeeks scores 8.9 out of 10 and ranks 7 of 10 in our editorial scoring, with plans from $2.95/mo. The catch is the renewal: $13.95/mo from month 13, which averages $10.28/mo across three years.
Take it if you want a low-friction start and you will re-shop when the first term ends. Skip it if you want the lowest long-term price locked in from day one.
