3/23/2007 - GreenWeb
Celebrates 10 Year in business!!!
The GreenWeb has been a provider of rare and exotic seeds
for over 10 years now, as of this date. We have loved our experience on the net, being one of
the pioneers for what once was unproven territory. We've seen many dot coms come and go, but
the GreenWeb remains here to serve you. Thanks for your support over the
years!
1/16/2008 - GreenWeb
Moves to a New Host Server
The GreenWeb was down for a few days as we moved our site to
a new, more reliable Internet Host provider. We selected HostMonster.com, an internet
presence provider that has been in business a year longer than we have, and that's a long time by
internet standards. While we were just reposting our files, a definite and positive
difference is noticeable. We expect our new server company will provide us with superior
uptime and hope that you'll notice the difference.
9/1/2008 - Plant Seed Sales
Suspended
In order to explore the possibilities of offering new products, the GreenWeb
Company made the business decision to stop offering plant seeds for sale. Increasing
government regulations as well as other factors have made our seed offerings a less attractive
opportunity for our company. A new product line is expected to be offered
soon.
January, 2009 - Seed Business
Stopped
While we are still hosting the GreenWeb site, our seed business has been
closed. Due to excessive regulation and a change in our business priorities, we have
finalized the discontinuation of sales of our seeds, but will maintain this website for the
benefit of the garden loving community at large.
January 2014 - The GreenWeb
Revamped a bit
We've changed the underlying website code to make it a more secure site and updated a
few things as well as we approach our 17th year anniversary of being on the world wide
web.
Hopefully you'll check back with us soon to see what changes will have
taken place. We have way too many additions planned for you to miss out on.
