Starting on greengeeks.com website, I selected most prominent 4.95 banner, that claims: 4.95 $ Dollar a month instead of 6.95$, 99.9%uptime, 30 day money back guarante, no hidden cost and super fast activation. Clicking that banner you learn fast, that it only applies if you pay 3 years in advance, which is one year more in Average. So upfront investment is about 180$, but there is a field called coupon code during registration process. So I googled Greengeekscoupon, which brought me to greengeekscoupon.com A website that immediately triggered my kaspersky antivir program and is registered by Registrant:
Domains by Proxy, Inc.
Domain Name: GREENGEEKSCOUPON.COM
Domain servers in listed order:
NS1.VODA30.COM
NS2.VODA30.COM
Anyhow, that coupon code, reduced my bill, I immediately payed via Paypal:
After that I got 6 times my order confirmation mail from greengeeks, but not no access to my account: the order confirmation mail states:
Thank you for your purchase of GreenGeeks web site hosting service and for choosing to host your web site GREEN!

Well, interested in their service, I tried to call them using JustVoip, since I am not in USA, anyhow, my 3 trials did not succeed, which might be a problem of my VOIP-Provider, so I tried their webchat as follows:
Please wait for a site operator to respond.
You are now chatting with 'Vance K.'
Vance K.: Hello, my name is Vance, welcome to Green Geeks, may I have your name and how may I help you today ?
you: Hello, I just bought your eco plan for 3 years and tried to call you in USA in order to activate, anyhow, I get kicked out
you: Is that the superfast activation process you are promoting on your webpage?
you: What information you need to aktivate my account?
Vance K.: Domain name please
you: xxxxxx.xxxx
you: my paypal transaction code is 1AK29653SU4686921
Vance K.: Checking
you: ...by the way I got 6 times the same order confirmation mail in 2 minutes
Vance K.: The number mentioned on our website is working fine.
Vance K.: Also, GreenGeeks.com representatives will call you to confirm your order, often within a few minutes of your signing up. We call and confirm over 90% of all of our orders because of the use of Fraud in our industry. This practice of confirming most orders by phone, while it does add minutes or sometimes hours to the order process, it protects potential victims and protects the Green Geeks company.
Vance K.: no issue with that
Vance K.: You will get charge only once.
Vance K.: Wait for their call
you: Yes, I got that text 6 times in 2 minutes, after buying for years with paypal it is the first time I have to wait a phone call
Vance K.: Yes, I understand your concern. But this practice protects potential victims and protects the Green Geeks company.
Vance K.: Thank you very much for chatting with us today.
Chat session has been terminated by the site operator.
I will let you know, when I hear from them!
