Frequently Asked Questions Everything you need to know about moving your website to GreenGeeks — step by step. How do I set up my new hosting account?GreenGeeks offers some of the best web hosting in the world. For as little as $2.95 per month you will have a fully featured web hosting account. Signing up is easy — head over to our Order Form and follow the on-screen instructions. Once you've signed up, you'll receive a welcome email containing all the details for your new service. Keep this handy as you'll need it going forward. Note: Signing up does not automatically transfer your website, so your current site will remain live and unaffected.
