Greenhost Reviews

Greenhost BV is a Dutch web hosting company founded in 2001 by Mart van Santen and Sacha van Geffen. Headquartered in Amsterdam, the company positions itself as a pioneer in sustainable and ethical hosting. Greenhost emphasizes environmental responsibility, utilizing 100% Dutch wind energy and hosting servers in climate-neutral data centers like EvoSwitch (since 2007). Their office operations also adhere to high sustainability standards. Beyond environmental concerns, Greenhost is strongly committed to digital human rights, internet freedom, privacy, and open-source software. They provide services to a diverse clientele, including NGOs, human rights defenders, journalists, and businesses prioritizing ethical considerations and sustainability. Their infrastructure is fully owned and managed, utilizing technologies like SSD storage, Ceph, and Xen for stability, speed, and scalability. Greenhost offers shared hosting, Virtual Private Servers (VPS), managed services, and domain registration. They provide specific support for platforms like WordPress and offer features like free Let's Encrypt SSL certificates and daily backups. In December 2024, Greenhost was acquired by The Sharing Group (TSG) to scale operations and develop sustainable European cloud hosting alternatives, while retaining its name, team, and core values.
