Considered Both Products
SiteGround
Chose SiteGround
I used Namescheap in the past. I believe Namescheap is a big company compared to SiteGround, as big as godaddy. I think because of that, you get what you expect. Good services, but maybe more costly and you have to pay for everything as extra. Email $5, SSL $10, CDN $10 etc …
Chose SiteGround
None of the other hosting companies come anywhere close to SiteGround. It's the gold standard.
Chose SiteGround
SiteGround had superior customer service and site uptime. Overall we found SiteGround, an easier provider to work with, both from a user interface and customer experience perspective. It was much easier to set up a Wordpress build using SiteGround than through iPage, and we …
Chose SiteGround
I chose SiteGround because we needed that personal touch. Other service providers we have used before have terrible customer/tech support. We chose SiteGround and we will continue to use them as our quality service provider because their technical support has been outstanding. …
Chose SiteGround
We looked at Blue Hosting, Go Daddy and Square Space. The affordability of SiteGround beat them all.
Chose SiteGround
The tech side of SiteGround Web Hosting is excellent and among the best, but I think the area where they shine the most is their customer support.
Chose SiteGround
SiteGround is more reliable and their support team is more responsive.
Chose SiteGround
Sadly, most web hosting companies are either not user-friendly or lack necessary features. No other web hosting company I've used has provided the level of reliability, features, and affordability that I've found with SiteGround with the exception of WP Engine which is a …
Chose SiteGround
WP Engine, Bluehost, Kinsta, GoDaddy and HostGator
Chose SiteGround
  • Better Add-ons: SiteGround caching, staging, etc.
  • Slightly faster than Sitegator and Godaddy,
  • Great customer service, online Chat.
Chose SiteGround
SiteGround is the BEST option if you are looking for price and have a small web project. Compared to other services who want to say the same, I never had a site go down, reach memory capacity, have my information sold off to, etc. SiteGround provides what they say they can …
Chose SiteGround
In terms of customer support in resolving tickets, I believe SiteGround is much better than others out there. Unlike Bluehost which when reached puts your call on hold and have longer waiting queues then SiteGround. They do followup to see if you are running into issues. They …
Chose SiteGround
GoDaddy and BlueHost offer grossly sub-par performance in 2017 for a price point that doesn't make sense. At least GoDaddy has great tech support - but I shouldn't have to rely on it as often as I do if all was working as it should.

inMotion was overly complex on the backend, …
AccuWebHosting.Com
Chose AccuWebHosting.Com
We have checked out HostGator and GoDaddy but their services don't come up to AccuWebHosting.Com - Windows Personal Hosting for free website hosting.
Chose AccuWebHosting.Com
I had to pay for namecheap but accuwebhosting.com has been free for me. I will say the migration from the namecheap site to accuwebhosting was not elegant, and I therefore I decided to rebuild the entire site from scratch. Both hosting sites worded fine for our purposes - our …
Chose AccuWebHosting.Com
Bluehost locked away settings and was very hard to configure or use, their custom plugins make it hard to move or restore backups.
GoDaddy gave me very bad support and can be bad about upcharges.
I like SiteGround and still use it for other projects. Nothing bad to say about them …
Chose AccuWebHosting.Com
  • Allowed us to focus our financial resources on community outreach.
  • Allowed us to get our message out.
  • Causes interruption of our website/email service as the need to post a review isn't required on a steady basis and we have to always stop everything to post a review as our …
Chose AccuWebHosting.Com
Previously, I used a few hosting services like name.com and namecheap.com and compared to them, AccuWebHosting is really great.
Chose AccuWebHosting.Com
I have tried several options for web hosting since I've had the chance to handle very different projects. So far, I choose to stay with AccuWebHosting since it has been the one that gives me the right speed as well as the bandwidth I require. Other options required me to pay …
Chose AccuWebHosting.Com
Of the many AccuWebHosting services, I chose to use their basic services, and that was enough for me, because my business reach was not extensive. I choose to continue using AccuWebHosting because I can provide good hosting for my website, and until now the server is stable and …
Chose AccuWebHosting.Com
Accuweb is 1000 times better than when we used JustHost as our web host. AccuWeb is way more reliable on speed, uptime, customer service and ease of use for making a website. I would definitely recommend using Accuweb for your web hosting needs, they have been a solid webhost …
Chose AccuWebHosting.Com
I choose Aaccu for the free service as this is an education site. If I was to create a site for a for profit company I would definitely consider Accu again.
Chose AccuWebHosting.Com
I'm completely new to hosting and domains then I found AccuWebHosting.Com its really good and great. They helped a lot to make it easier

I used other hosting providers in the past and actually I'm very happy with SiteGround mainly because of this: * very quick to setup and install my Wordpress website * sends me weekly emails about traffic, website healthscore etc * great wordpress plugins to help with SEO and optimizing

AccuWebHosting.Com - Windows Personal Hosting is always responsive to questions and they have a great Knowledge Base that can be tapped for finding self-help! Their email setup could be a bit easier to follow but then that may be just my inexperience.

Pros
  • You get a number of page views as a guide to your bandwidth, and a fixed amount of disk space on the server. So you know what you have to work with. No hazy promises of “unlimited” resources.
  • If you pay more, you’re allocated a server with fewer accounts, so there’s less chance you’ll be slowed down by your neighbors.
  • Its self-help material is pretty good — close to InMotion Hosting for knowledgebase quality.
  • SiteGround tackles slow speeds from all angles, using SSD storage, Nginx, SuperCacher, CloudFlare CDN, and HHVM.

  • Fast web hosting. The response time of web pages is amazingly fast.
  • Great technical service. They answer quickly and solve any problems as quickly as possible.
  • Easy to use. It has a control panel with great ease of navigation.
  • SSD servers. They have an option for great speed.

Cons
  • Business model and clarity about prices after the second year
  • Server Performance when it's stressed or under a big volume of traffic
  • Upgrading model. Sometimes I felt like it was mandatory to update and pay more for basic needs, even with low traffic volumes

  • I guess their hosting service can be faster. Our websites load pretty quickly, especially after applying Accuwebhosting.com optimization tips, but we are not up to the highest speed yet. Again, it might be that we need to work more on our optimization.

The speed at which Accuweb processes information is high. I never had any issues surfing my websites neither do my site visitors. The website templates are very easy to use and well organized. I would recommend Accuweb to anyone who desires a professional website that is user-friendly. I host my dirt racing website on Accuweb and it runs flawlessly with no issues whatsoever. I have not had any downtime do to Accuwebs servers and highly recommend anyone looking for a good reliable webhost to give them a try.

Support Rating
Three ways to get customer support, phone, email, and chat. Chat is available 24/7 and the agents are always friendly and very helpful. In all the instances where I needed assistance chat support agents were always available to help. Wait time is minimal and on rare occasions I had to call, the agents were very helpful as well. I can not remember a time I walked away from support without my question or concern being resolved.

GoDaddy and Bluehost offer grossly sub-par performance in 2017 for a price point that doesn't make sense. At least GoDaddy has great tech support - but I shouldn't have to rely on it as often as I do if all was working as it should. inMotion was overly complex on the backend, and lacked some common hosting features (easy WordPress installs for one) that are common across all other hosts. WPEngine, had great performance, and decent support, but their own proprietary backend interface was always a shift when switching between them and cpanel. Also - VERY expensive compared to SiteGround for comparable (if not lesser) service & performance.

I had to pay for Namecheap but accuwebhosting.com has been free for me. I will say the migration from the Namecheap site to accuwebhosting was not elegant, and I therefore I decided to rebuild the entire site from scratch. Both hosting sites worded fine for our purposes - our site is not very sophisticated so I don't think we stressed the hosting companies.

Return on Investment
  • Consistent uptime is a positive return on time investment.
  • Support response times are a positive return on time investment.
  • If large cost increases are not, we should change to another provider at renewal time, but we have not, due to other priorities.

  • We've seen an estimated increase of about 25% website visits since we started using Accuwebhosting.com. We attribute this to improvements in our search engine rankings, which has come from the improved page load times and applying the tips we've picked up from their emails and blog.
  • We've seen a marked increase in inquiries from potential clients since we started using Accuwebhosting.com services, which we attribute to their very reliable email services.
