HostPapa is all about green hosting. Their prices aren't higher because the company has gone green, however. This web service still offers some very competitive features that should make it a serious consideration for anyone looking for a webhost.
The company offers a free setup and a free domain for life, so they have some offerings to keep them neck-in-neck with the other hosts out there. They've also won a slew of awards, including the Best Green Hosting award from JudgeHost.com in 2010.
HostPapa supports all the major technologies out there, including content management systems of all types. If you're looking to get on the web and to save the planet at the same time, this is among the companies that are certified as Green Web Hosts, which should make HostPapa popular with those who value environmental consciousness in the products that they buy.

Pricing Concerns
HostPapa is encouraging people to switch over from other hosts and, to that end, they're offering very low prices to get started. The company offers a $3.95 per month starter plan that comes with features comparable to what other hosts are offering, plus quite a few freebees. For this price, you get unlimited disk space, 1 free domain for life, unlimited domain names on 1 account and unlimited bandwidth. The setup fees are waved and the Soholaunch site builder is included with this purchase price. A host of other free website tools are also included with this monthly fee.
Reliability and Uptime Information
HostPapa has 24/7 network monitoring and has RAID backup on all of its servers. Their connections are powered by multi-homed OC48 and Gigabit fiber lines, so there should be no trouble with people getting to your site.
Security at this host is tight and provided by a triple-redundant firewall and the monitoring done by the staff. Their servers are all Linux high-performance models. HostPapa, of course, has 100% green energy generation behind all of its servers, but they are provided with UPS power backup, ensuring that the datacenter stays online in the event of a catastrophe. Between all the security and uptime features, this host can boast good service in this regard.
Control Panel
For those who are advanced users, there is a cPanel control panel that lets you get at the very heart of the server in the most precise way possible. Of course, not everyone has those kinds of skills and, to thatend, there are plenty of other options. The system supports FTP access, or course, and there is also an easy setup option for those who don't want to get into running their server at that depth. The cPanelusers that go with HostPapa will find all of the log files and other information they need to run a site professionally.
Customer Support
The customer support at HostPapa comes in many different flavors. If you need the assurance of a human voice at the other end of the phone, you can call their live telephone support. There is also a live chat support option for those who like to do things via text! Email support is offered, as well.
HostPapa offers an extensive collection of KnowledgeBase articles and there are video tutorials available. You'll find French and Spanish support available, as well.
