"Great hosting"
What do you like best about SiteGround?

Amazing tech support and performance. You have access to amazing performance tools that other hosting companies won't even list them as paid options.

What do you dislike about SiteGround?

Maybe the price after the first year of usage. It's really expensive when you reach the second year.

What problems is SiteGround solving and how is that benefiting you?

I recommended several of my clients to move to this hosting and now their websites and apps are doing much better.

"A shared hosting loaded with advanced tools .. on a global server network"
What do you like best about SiteGround?

The Speed of my website has improved after migrating to site-ground. Due to the fact that they have server locations in Europe, my website is now responding at much higher level to users from Africa and middle east. I also love the fact the they provide advanced caching tools for the middle package of their shared hosting plan. Other hosting companies from the same class restrict the advanced caching features to the expensive high package plans only.

What do you dislike about SiteGround?

an important features like wordpress staging require an account upgrade. While the same feature was included in my previous hosting plan from the same class.

What problems is SiteGround solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was looking for a hosting company that had a data-center in gamester, to provide a faster website for my users in Egypt and Saudi Arabia. But i found that site ground even have a data center in Milan along side the Amsterdam one. Milan Data centers are closer to my area and thus provided better server response time.

"An Excellent Hosting Provider!"
What do you like best about SiteGround?

Siteground offers excellent customer service that will guide through resolving any issue that you are dealing with. Additionally, Sitegrounds speed is one of the fastest I have used, and all for very affordable rates. At this point in time, I would never suggest switching my website hosting anywhere else.

What do you dislike about SiteGround?

Tutorials are not as clear as you need when first starting out. They could offer a bit clearer instructions to help beginners.

What problems is SiteGround solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am solving the very large issue of reliable hosting with fast page load times. After switching to Siteground the load times of my website are now under 2 seconds.

"Reliable and Trustworthy Web Hosting Company"
What do you like best about SiteGround?

Well, I am a 5+ loyal customer to them, I failed tons of times hosting my websites (in the past) before I found them by reading their review on some of the review hubs.

What do you dislike about SiteGround?

For real? Nothing at all, they are awesome, cannot find anything bad at all.

What problems is SiteGround solving and how is that benefiting you?

Well, as I stated before, I failed to run my business website(s) successfully online before due to bad hosting providers which I tried before I found SiteGround. I always facing site down alerts I always get money lost I always get a bad online reputation due to a service cut. Now, with SiteGround = Nothing of this anymore. I get very fast hosting I get reliable hardware (for heavy traffic and complex SQL queries). I get 24/7/356 uptime server.

"Top Notch Service & Offerings"
What do you like best about SiteGround?

Excellent customer support. Fast, efficient, knowledgeable and helpful. Uses current versions of PHP. Offers free SSL certificate and automatic renewals. Offers free emails with all shared hosting plans. They make it easy to migrate sites to SiteGround with their free Site Migrator plugin.

What do you dislike about SiteGround?

The caching of sites can sometimes be frustrating when you are working on the backend of a site. It can mean having to login to the cpanel to clear the cache before you can see the change on the front-end. That said, the caching is a bonus for site visitors as it speeds up the loading of each website.

What problems is SiteGround solving and how is that benefiting you?

Their Site Migrator makes moving website hosting from other platforms to SiteGround simple and fast. Their phone or online support offers fast and knowledgeable assistance when needed.

"A fantastic, reliable host with extra bells and whistles for WordPress"
What do you like best about SiteGround?

I have been using Siteground for many years now, and they have always impressed me. Top notch customer support that isn't outsourced overseas and not helpful. They always answer right away and you get to speak with experienced technical staff who understand WordPress and how to fix problems. Also, SiteGround includes very advanced additional tools for WordPress sites. Fast caching, site boosters, one-click staging sites, backups, and more. I really like their WordPress tools and I use them for all of my main WordPress sites, as well as high traffic sites. Performance has never been an issue with their servers, especially on their cloud plans and dedicated server plans.

What do you dislike about SiteGround?

Nothing to dislike about this hosting company so far. I have only had a few instances where there has been minimal downtime, and I've been with them for many years. They also don't have discounts on some of their plans if you offer to pay upfront for a year or longer. Currently my cloud account is capped at 6-month renewal terms.

What problems is SiteGround solving and how is that benefiting you?

I heard about Siteground through a hosting review site as well as a trusted colleague of mine. I was currently using a competitor's service and was having issue with a large forum site that I ran that was very resource intensive (lots of mySQL queries, complex PHP scripts, etc). I needed cloud hosting with a reliable provider that has WordPress features without being a fully managed service because I prefer having full control over my server environment rather than getting a 'locked down' server with the managed hosting competitors out there. Also, I needed to run a non-WordPress PHP-based service. With SiteGround you get managed level support but with full control and CPanel control panel. They migrated my big non-WordPress forum site, as well as all my WordPress sites over to my new SiteGround account free of charge, and the transition was flawless. I can't recommend them enough!

"Solid Shared Hosting"
What do you like best about SiteGround?

I have found the customer service to be exceptional, whether from setting up my domain and site to troubleshooting any issues that have come up.

What do you dislike about SiteGround?

A redesign has made it harder to find where you click through to customer support
