Quick pick
→ hosting.com suits buyers who want LiteSpeed/NVMe hosting, daily restore points, and a choice between WordPress-focused and cPanel workflows.
→ GreenGeeks suits buyers who want a capable WordPress stack and place meaningful weight on the provider's 300% renewable-energy matching program.
A2 Hosting is now hosting.com, while GreenGeeks remains strongly identified with sustainability. Technically, the two overlap more than their branding suggests: both sell mainstream WordPress hosting with performance tuning, backups, security, migration help, and developer access.
If you choose A2 Hosting
What you get
hosting.com now combines LiteSpeed, NVMe storage, daily backups with 30-day restore points, domain email, SSL, malware protection, and free migration. Buyers can choose a WordPress-focused product or a full cPanel hosting line depending on the control model they prefer.
What you give up
The old A2 Hosting identity and plan assumptions are outdated as a guide to the current service. GreenGeeks has the more explicit environmental program, including a 300% renewable-energy match and a tree-planting initiative.
If you choose GreenGeeks
What you get
GreenGeeks WordPress hosting includes LiteSpeed optimization, daily backups, CDN support, managed updates, security tooling, staging, SSH, Git, WP-CLI, SFTP, and migration help. Its sustainability program matches energy usage threefold through renewable-energy credits.
What you give up
GreenGeeks' strongest brand differentiator is sustainability rather than a unique control-panel model. hosting.com is more flexible if you specifically want its current cPanel product or the newer hosting.com managed WordPress experience.
