Using siteground was very easy. My website was always up and managing email accounts is also easy on siteground.

The best part about siteground is, it is super easy to use and the performance is very good. Its user dashboard is very clean and easy to use. You can find and use any feature very easily. I used siteground for more than 1 year and the uptime was 99.99%. My site speed was very fast(less than 1.5 second loading time).

The one thing that I don't like about siteground is that they offer very little storage with their hosting plans.

We loved SiteGround for a long time. Their customer support was amazing and the price you pay is very reasonable. We moved on as we outgrew what it could offer as needs grew along with our ability to manage a more complex hosting environment.

It was a big jump from Host Gater and Godaddy where we were hosting some sites. The support was what we needed as a beginner to hosting and the speed was noticeably faster without any additional tools added to the websites.

It ended up costing a lot more money to get the speed we wanted for our websites verses other services out there. It's a great option for non-technical clients who are starting out and don't want the headache of dealing with hosting.

We still use siteground for hosting and have for several years. We have had poor results with 2 add on services now. The sitescanner and the email marketing.

Set up was fairly straightforward with multiple warnings to clean your contact list....noted.

Hosting is good and support is fast. Other services...not so much. Email marketing is misleading. paid for 1000 contacts/10000 emails per month plan. Uploaded the first 600 of my contacts and sent an email....then added the other 300 for a total of 900 and tried to send the second email (should have been able to send 10 emails) and was prompted to upgrade. So could not send 2 emails to a contact list of 900. Very misleading.

I moved my own websites to Siteground and now recommend clients to also use their hosting services. The initial attraction is cost and good reliability (based on reviews), but you also quickly discover how strong the customer support is - either via email or webchat. Any issues are quickly resolved. The collaborator functionality is very important for a developer and means I don't have to keep users login details on file.

Very good initial offers for the first year of hosting. Exceptional customer support. Option to pay monthly after first year. Allows access to client websites without needing multiple logins with the collaborator function. Reliable, very little downtime and quick servers.

The jump in price on the second year can be a turn-off and some clients have made the decision to move elsewhere (although they've not always been happy with the decision afterwards!). It would be good if the collaborator option allowed access to emails as well.

I'm a marketer, who builds and manages websites secondarily; I'm tech savvy but not at all a developer. SiteGround ranks high in all the areas that are important to me. A well-managed company that's likely to remain stable and grow for the long term. Good tech support available 24x7. Strong server-side security to prevent hacks. Optimized for WordPress sites. Plenty of good tools to help non-developers, such as their one-click tool to spin up a temporary staging site clone; easy clicks to install WordPress and SSL certificates; one click to instantly upgrade or downgrade PHP version; and easy to navigate backup management and restore options including separate restore ability for subdomains.

1. SiteGround is at the top of my list for value. People say it's more expensive than most hosting; but it's actually far cheaper than most. If you consider the cost of your time or a developer's time to deal with just one big problem or hassle at a cheap hosting company that doesn't have excellent server environments or customer service, or responsiveness when your site is down. A big part of hosting value is the lack of drama generated by the hosting company. SiteGround doesn't create drama; it just keeps working. 2. I particularly value their quality technical support; it has saved me much time when configuring or troubleshooting my clients' sites. 3. SiteGround's performance is consistently good and my clients' sites load fast. Last year, for example, a site on another hosting kept slowing down, where page load speeds reached 8 to 15 seconds on a site that used to be fast. That hosting's tech support was saying it looked good on their end, and gave me complicated caching options to try as tests. Instead, I made a copy of the site and uploaded it to my own SiteGround account to test on a staging site, and that clone instantly had page load speeds of 1 to 2 seconds for all users. That site's now been on SiteGround for several months with the same page load speeds.

1. Planning for SiteGround changes is hard. They will announce that something new and improved is coming, like their move off cPanel, or their move of many sites to new, upgraded servers that will require a DNS change by me at the time of the switch. But they give a vague window of time like "in coming months" and state that they'll let each customer know in advance. Which they do, but it's only a week or so in advance, by email. Which brings me to: 2. They don't offer a way for a site owner (my clients) to designate a webmaster (me) to receive copies of account notifications. They only send notifications to the site owners. And my clients don't read those emails to differentiate them from SiteGround newsletters and promotional emails, to forward them to me. This includes emails alerting the site owner about annual renewals that need the credit card on file updated, for example. 3. They've made getting to their tech support team tedious, requiring some knowledge base searches first before they'll reveal a time-sensitive code for support access. But once you're connected to tech support it's great.

I have a love/hate relationship with Siteground. I love the support and reliable service, but compared to other hosting companies, it is among the most expensive, but still a lot less than managed hosts like WPEngine and Pagely. I have also been saved by their real-time support. I am fortunate in that I run a web design agency and can pass the cost to my clients. As much as I would like to save some money, I am afraid to leave because Siteground has been so helpful. If you are somewhat tech-savvy like me but do not want to pay hundreds of dollars per month for a managed web host that can hold your hand every time you have a problem, but you like the idea of getting on chat and connecting with a real engineer, then Siteground is an excellent choice. Like the Eagles song, Hotel California, "You can check in anytime you like, but you can never leave." That sentence best describes Sitegrond web hosting.

I have been using Siteground for over seven years and my sites have almost never gone done, and when it has happened, they have never been down for more than 20 minutes. I have also found Siteground's tech support provides excellent service. If I run into a problem, I just open up support chat, and the problem is always resolved quickly.

The biggest downside to using Siteground is they can be expensive. They attract new clients with low introductory prices for the first year and then afterward, the price increases dramatically. For example, in my case, I recall paying an average of $8 per month during the first year, but in the second year, the price jumped to $25. On the positive side, Siteground support is above average. I run a web design business and provide hosting to clients and the service has saved me more than once.

Having moved from another hosting service SiteGround was exactly what we were looking for. Being new to the tech side of things their customer service was so helpful setting it up for us and helping with the initial teething problems. For over seven years we have been using SiteGround and their pricing is extremely reasonable.

We have used SiteGround for over seven years and we are so impressed with their platform. Their user friendly dashboard gets better and better and their customer service has been superb.

Having discussed this with our team there really isn't anything that sticks out as a Con.

My experience is average with this hosting company but I really like how they are doing business. Pricing, facilities, server uptime everything was ok for me, but they need to develop the management part and make it more user-friendly.

Siteground comes with some great packages, they provide a lot with the hosting plan. For example, free SSL, free CDN, daily backup, free email, and many more. Basically, for these kinds of additional things, other hosting companies charge additional prices whereas in Siteground you'll get them for free. I love how they optimized their server for WordPress CMS. They have their own plugin for speed optimization that has been built according to their server configuration. It makes Siteground unique, website loading speed is amazing on SiteGround I love this a lot.

I least like Siteground server management, they are unique, they have their own control panel. It's good but people are not friendly with their customized control panel, users are friendly with cPanel. So, I think Siteground should have a cPanel server control panel as well as their own. There are so many things that cPanel can provide but Siteground's control panel can't.

overall i'm very happy with SiteGround

very good value for money & their customer support are very friendly and always here to help!

speed could be better, also the cache options wasn't very good

Great at first, but gradually became below average. Sad to see this happen.

At first, Siteground was a great offering. Good prices and prompt, helpful service.

Over time, Siteground became harder to contact. The personal service disappeared.

Great! I've used several hosting providers in the span of 15 year plus of my development career. No one comes close with SiteGround currently. I've been with GoDaddy, Bluehost, Flipperhost, NameCheap and some other exotic hosting providers (in pursuit of the cheap ones), but SiteGround blurred them all - save the price of course.

User Interface. One of the crowned jewels of SiteGround is I guess uniquely developed user interface. Unlike any other hosting provider where they use perennial and generic dashboard, SiteGround just completely turned things up-side-up and brought user experience to a new level. They have laid out all the most important and mostly used hosting extensions in the foreground with the options to add more if you need ore. The user interface is easy on the eyes and easy to use. This saves you a lot of time navigating and figuring out things around. Plans. Another thing is there targeted pricing plans. Though, most hosting has this, but SiteGround is unique. They have plans for WordPress users, WordPress with WooCommerce or simple just generic hosting for more liberated hosting plans. Pricing. They have this unique pricing structure targeted to first time customers. Of course to attract more users. There introductory price is really attractive (or say cheap) for a great hosting experience. But this too seems to be there downfall as well. Customer Support. Cannot help but give this to them. If you are to highlight hosting experience with SiteGround, this one is a firework. One thing you will notice with SiteGround's support technicians are there level of product knowledgeability. They are highly knowledgeable of the stuff they attend too. They are highly professional as well in dealing with customers. Five star rating is the least you can rate them with.

Pricing. I have been sold with this one. There introductory price/plans is seem cheap/competitive for the first year. Then upon renewal it quadruples the price. Now, you are caught in the middle between a great hosting experience and the newly tendered pricing. Innodes. Seriously, this is the first time I have experience innodes issues with a hosting provider. Or maybe because this is the only hosting provider that has excited me, whereby enabling me to pump more websites to my hosting plan. Else, I need to understand the business side of things :-) Unlimited. One classic selling points of all hosting providers that is consequently used by SiteGround. It says "Unlimited Websites" in a hosting storage of 20GB for example. But the back of the mind of an experienced developer knows that there is no such thing as "unlimited". In fact, halfway through your storage, you'd probably find yourself in trouble with "innodes" sizes than storage capacities.

This comment is only about shared hosting. My experience is a bit of a mixed bag. The first time subscription for 3 years was cheap in comparison with the product performance, howler the renewal prices are WAY higher and no more justifiable. Even on a low traffic website I started getting prompts about cpu usage and the need for a bigger tier, whereas now on the very basic tier of another provider all is fine. I really didn’t love how the user dashboard makes disabling auto renewals a very big hassle. Same as contacting a human for assistance. So, to sum it up: works well for the price paid with first time discounts and coupons, otherwise…I’m not so sure and decided to look somewhere else (without any kind of remorse!)

The user interface is pleasant although not always easy to navigate. Web site control panel is quick and easy and deployment is really quick. Email hosting is included and works reliably. First time subscription on shared hosting is cheap (the longer you subscribe, the cheaper!) and works well, but read the con’s section

This comment is only about shared hosting. Renewal prices are going to be way higher than expected, at the same price point there are far better alternatives. The user dashboard uses a lot of dark patterns, like a convoluted and somehow hidden/confusing page to disable automatic renewal, and a help section that strives in every possible way to keep you away from chatting / emailing a real person. Speed and reliability are fair in comparison to the price paid, but no more so with the renewal prices (that’s why after a 3 years long initial commitment I finally switched to another provider and am not looking back!). It can be however useful to test a new project and switch to a more performant provider only in case it works, like I did

It used to be a 5 star, top of the industry host when it comes to managed VPS. Now it's among the good ones but I can't really see a competitive advantage anymore.

In it's good old days, I loved that chat support was instant and tickets were handled by level 2 tech guys in less than 1h usually. Sure, I paid a premium for that fully managed vps... but totally worth it IMO. Their autoscale feature saved our product launches many times to absorb peaks of visitors as well.

Then siteground forced it's users to move away from cpanel. Removing the interoperability factor we needed... Just in case things went south. And they went south... Although migration was supposed to be planned ahead and we asked several times months ahead what was the ETA... Support has never been able to provide an answer. And we only received one email 7 days prior migration... I was lucky enough to be one of the last to be migrated. One of our customers whom we had recommended SG to, got caught by surprise. One morning all his IPs were changed + his cron jobs failed to run... We lost a few days to solve this and support was completely at loss (or maybe overwhelmed by requests like ours)... We moved our cpanel away since then but still have customers on siteground that we help. I can say that support is not their strength anymore. Their native panel is ok but lacks features we really enjoyed in cpanel like api.

Started out great, I recommend them to hundreds of clients, and I moved most every site I own over there. Now, some two years later, they made me purchase a second subscription to access their new tools which I needed. And after continued degrading network performance and servers/software that are full of bugs. I am needing to switch hosts yet again, where I will deploy my own cloud servers on Cloudways. I tried to ask Siteground to merge my accounts, or at least credit me what I paid against my top-tier account, and they flat out refused. Not only have I spent hundreds of dollars beyond what was needed, but now I cant even make use of the basic service they allegedly provide because they simply don't want to help.

It was packed full of hosting features I needed, and things worked faster than my old host.

Customer 'support' is terrible and virtually non-existent. Yes you'll get a human. And that human will tell you you are wrong, that their servers never went down, that there are no issues on your account, and that Siteground is the best. The only time my site has ever worked properly was the day I moved it to another host.

Their support used to be exemplary. They now hide their live chat behind 10 layers of selections so you have to spend 10 mins trying to match your needs with the selections. This has made the slick previous experience, very slow and inefficient. They say this is to "streamline the support process", but it is not the case. Once you get to their support it is amazing!

I love the speed of their servers, the simplicity of getting a WordPress website up and running. Their new site tools are amazing and much more intuitive than cPanel ever was.

If you sign up for a new account now, you are getting a discounted price and then when you need to renew your price is more than 3 times the price. They deployed new pricing and stated that with the hosting plans, that they had a restriction on the amount of websites you could have and now if you check their hosting plans, they have changed it again to be unlimited sites on the GrowBig and GoGeek accounts. It would be great if they didn't change their minds.

I used to use godaddy because it seemed to be the go-to place for domains and everything, but I had many problems with the server being slow and the customer support was pretty bad and got worse over time, I also hated how they try to upsell you at every corner so I eventually made time to migrate everything to Siteground and I was super happy with the speed and the assistance migrating, I had a pretty good experience, but afterwards moved to cloudways and im also testing hostinger since it is ridiculously cheap, Im still a fan of Siteground but its too expensive and has many features I don't use

Its way better than Godaddy, setting everything up is very easy, the servers are fast and everything just works

I think Siteground is a bit too expensive, It has many features which I'm sure might make it worthwhile to certain kinds of customers, but as a single web designer, I never used many of the more advanced features so I felt I was paying for more than I needed

Sono cliente di SiteGround da molti anni e, in cambio di un canone salato, ritengo di ricevere ancora i giusti servizi e soprattutto sicurezza. Con l'utilizzo di SiteGround posso affermare di aver sempre ottenuto performance superiori rispetto ad altri fornitori di servizi.

Ottime performance per tutti i siti installati (Server Farm Google Europa); pannello di amministrazione proprietario; assistenza istantanea in chat e in italiano (alle volte tradotto); backup giornalieri e personalizzati; staging e migrazioni (siti e posta) molto semplici e veloci; database, parcheggio domini e sottodomini illimitati.

Con l'abbonamento più caro (molto caro!) 40 gb di spazio sono un po' pochi e si devono monitorare le risorse (Inodes e Carico CPU) per non rischiare rallentamenti. Anni fa era utilizzato hosting su territrio italiano ma, purtroppo, adesso non più.

Siteground ofrece todo lo que tiene que ofrecer un buen hosting, con una interfaz propia de administración muy sencilla pero también muy completa. Dispone de características de seguridad, caché y CDN incluidos en los paquetes de servicios que ofrece.

Los servicios que ofrece son superiores a otros hosting, ofreciendo características integradas que habría que pagar en otros proveedores.

Aunque la primera contratación es muy atractiva con un gran descuento, el precio de la renovación es muy alto

I wouldn't use anyone else for hosting but SiteGround.

Everything about SiteGround is amazing. The biggest wow is their customer service which is just unbelievable. They have recently made their platform even easier to navigate and even someone like me, a slight tech lay-man, can go in the "back-end" and make changes with fear of breaking the internet.

I have nothing bad to say. It's amazing. If I ever have had a complaint or an issue, I have spoken to their customer service and they solve my problem within minutes - EVERY time.

Overall experienced a very stable and fast web hosting and saved from the hassle from migrations of existing sites and installations of new sites,

Easy migrations, faster installations, 2-3 step software purchase, online chat support, ticketing system. Auto Core updates.

PHP special limit changes requires support team to adjust as they don't allow that.

Make sure to NEVER switch to SiteGround. Their hosting is crazy unreliable. They might have updated their back-end, but 2 years ago (2019) it was super old-fashioned as well, not nice to use at all. cPanel is never very nice, but still... Anyway, I switched to CloudWays and never looked back. The same websites NEVER had any issues, at least not related to what I experienced with SiteGround, that's for sure. It's normal for websites to have some issues now and then, but they should be resolved quickly and without stress. That's what CloudWays has done for me ever since! I very, very rarely write bad reviews, but SiteGround has given me so much stress and literally cost me business that they deserve it.

Literally nothing, because nothing matters if you can't rely on the service you're using. A webhosting service has ONE main job: providing you with reliable, fast hosting. Everything else, like customer service, easy to use interface, additional features etc. are secondary after that and help you choose one provider over another.

I used SiteGround for less than 2 months. I do believe it was the worst experience I ever had with any company, surely business-related. It started out fine. I used their shared hosting. It was faster than A2 Hosting. But then issues started happening. I upgraded to their expensive VPS. My sites went offline very often, critical errors etc. Support was always quick to response, so I thought they'd be able to help me out. Boy was I wrong. I'm not going to go into much more detail. I'll just conclude in the next section.

I’ve been using SiteGround for all of our projects along with several of out client websites hosted with SiteGround. SiteGround has one of the best customer support, they have a great ticket system allowing for keeping track of issues. They have a easy to use control like no other hosting platforms.

SiteGround is comparatively expensive when compared to other hosting services that provide shared hosting services.

I used Siteground for over 3 years and overall, it is excellent hosting. It is fast, simple to set up, and has an easy to use admin panel for people who aren't developers. At one point, I had about 20 sites running on their Go Big plan without any problems. It is also extremely easy to set up a staging site and move it live when you are finished.

The price. When it came time to renew my plan, i looked around at different hosting. In the end, I decided to go with Vultr. For someone who knows or is interested in how servers work, going with VPS hosting can save you a lot of money. If you need everything like mail, domains, DNS, etc. in one place, I would highly recommend Siteground. Although there are a lot of hosts that are a lot cheaper. I can't speak to them as I haven't used them.

Really good! The discount on the first year helped me so much to keep my websites live

I love that they offer a huge discount on the first year, I paid less than 5$ a month for the full first year on the shared hosting and it helped a lot my business

The VPS host could be a little cheaper and they could have more servers in Europe

SiteGround agent, [SENSITIVE CONTENT] are very helpful and friendly. Had a payment issue and it was resolved without any problems. Highly recommend to signup with SiteGround because they care of their customers.

Great price Great service Integration with email
