What do you like best about SiteGround?

SiteGround simply performs. On the back-end, tools just work, everything just makes sense; on the front end, I never run into the resource or performance issues that I find on other hosts. And tech support? I *never* can't connect with a tech rep that doesn't know exactly what to do to help with the occasional things I run into. SiteGround offers the features and benefits of high-end,high-dollar hosting, in an approachable, affordable package. I steer *all* my clients to SiteGround. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SiteGround?

Least helpful about SiteGround?... Well, sometimes I have to wait a few moments before I'm connected with support chat instead of instant connection. :} Really? What is there to dislike? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I've been a customer a long time, so the evolutions and growth over the years ... adding LetsEncrypt, Staging, Application Management, Migration .... those are probably the most-appreciated features, saving me development and deployment time. Not to mention your best-in-class support ... I *love* it when a tech gets what I'm describing, trusts that I've done *my* due diligence, and helps me get to a solution efficiently. Support *alone* keeps me bringing my client to SiteGround. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SiteGround?

I had a major issue after updating my Joomla website, resulting in loss of administrator access and front end also offline.

Even backups wouldn't restore the website. Thanks to the help of Dimitar B, the site was fully restored within 30 minutes of my ticket being raised.

Very grateful for the help received. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SiteGround?

The included site backup did not work on this occasion (it's normally 100% reliable in restoring all files and databases). But thanks to the quick support from the team, the site was back up and running very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SiteGround?

I needed help navigating from Dynadot to SiteGround for WordPress hosting. I was lost with many steps involved. Nicol and Dimitor were excellent in helping me out above and beyond, and thanks to them, my website is now hosted on SiteGround. People are what matters, and they both - Nicol and Dimitor made a BIG difference in my life and to my success - today! Thank you very much! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SiteGround?

Their basic services were good initially - reasonably easy to set up and the site was . However, over time after multiple site outages that were for nonsense reasons, my initial happiness with their service disapated. Excuses, misinformation, and lies from management take their toll. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SiteGround?

I've been with SiteGround for four years, and I can't express enough how disappointed I am with their service. Here are the main issues I've encountered:

Unjustified Traffic Blocks: SiteGround blocks legitimate traffic at the slightest temporary increase, claiming a suspected attack. They don't verify if the site is under attack; they just block it by default. For example, when we announced webinars and had a modest increase in traffic (around 300 people signing up), they decided we were under attack, and we lost the ability for people to register. Despite their SLAs, I was never offered appropriate compensation.

Cryptic Messaging: Their messages are cryptic and often induce panic. They regularly send alerts that you're over the limit on something, listing a domain with little to no traffic. They arbitrarily pick one of your domains to raise an alert on, wasting time as you try to figure out what's happening.

Dismissive Management: When issues are escalated, their management team is dismissive, using phrases like "we will review", "we will try to improve", and "we will analyze," but they never commit to taking action. Even when pressed, the best commitment you get is vague promises about the "possibility of a change."

Dishonesty: I've caught their management outright lying in their replies. They provide BS excuses for blocking legitimate traffic, and when the actual traffic is analyzed, they fabricate reasons to justify their actions.

After enduring these issues for four years, I've finally had enough and moved my sites to another provider. I cannot stress enough how much SiteGround should be avoided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

After four years with SiteGround, I've had enough of their appalling service and dismissive management. They block legitimate traffic at the slightest increase, claiming suspected attacks without verification. For instance, our site was blocked during a webinar sign-up surge, causing us to lose registrations. Despite their SLAs, no compensation was offered.

Their management is equally disappointing. They send cryptic, panic-inducing messages about exceeding limits on low-traffic domains and, when issues are escalated, they provide non-committal responses like "we will review" without any real action. Worse yet, I've caught them making up outright lies to explain away their terrible service. SiteGround's unreliable service and dishonest management make them a provider to avoid.

What do you dislike about SiteGround?

Promotions do not usually cover existing plan based on my experience. New hosting plan will be opened. Migration will be a hassle. However, the SiteGround support, being customer focued, is working with customers and is able to adjust the hosting plan offers to resolve the issue by offering an externtion of the existing subscription or similar solutions.

What do you like best about SiteGround?

Their customer service people are always amazing.

There has not been 1 time where they haven't been able to assist me or my company; and I have requested help quite a few times

They, patiently, guide you, advice you and help you the best they can

What do you dislike about SiteGround?

The renewal price for website hosting

It was very expensive to renew the 3rd year so I had no choice but to switch providers

However, I had recommended a colleague and still work along with them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

They provide top-notch hosting services

Their dashboard is user-friendly. You don't need to be a developer to manage your site.

The hosting also includes SSL certificate which you don't have to, manually, renew every 3 or 6 months

They provide automatic daily backups and WAY FASTER than other providers. Their back-up and restore process won't take more than 3-5 minutes whereas other providers take over 45 minutes

Their Customer service dpt is the best i have ever experienced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
