Q2) Give me 3 solid reason why you started an hosting company Greengeeks?
I had been in the industry since 2000 and I saw where companies I worked for had made good and bad choices for their organization and I wanted to take my experience and build a better web hosting company.
I also wanted to showcase that our industry is becoming a major polluter and I wanted consumers to know about going green with their websites.
Q3) How you bear the competition in the market as hosting market is crowded and lot of competition is there ?
Read Review of GreenGeeks HereThere is a tremendous amount of competition in the market place but the industry is less fragmented than it used to be with the acquisition of so many webhosting companies by EIG. We compete against their brands as well as the larger player GoDaddy by having better customer service, uptime & features.

When we started GreenGeeks I personally worked over 100 hours a week. As our staff grew and more people could handle some of the tasks I managed my hours became shorter where I now work roughly 40 hours a week.
Q7) How you try to balance between personal life and work life, as it is very difficult to do business while maintaining personal life?
