Overall Satisfaction with SiteGround

SiteGround was being used to host different clients' WordPress websites at the request of the client.
  • Management of users
  • Access to SQL
  • Website file browser
  • WordPress hosting is horrible
  • Issues pertaining to memory allowed on shared hosting
  • PHP integration doesn't always work
  • Websites are extremely slow on shared hosting
  • Ease-of-use for clients (I suppose)
  • Resulted in us having to transfer several clients from SiteGround to other platforms

Do you think SiteGround delivers good value for the price?

No

No

Did SiteGround live up to sales and marketing promises?

No

Did implementation of SiteGround go as expected?

No

Would you buy SiteGround again?

No

Personally, I wouldn't suggest SiteGround and encourage people to find other providers. I find that their services are really not at par in terms of the needs of most companies that want to host a website. These days with WordPress you are required to install a lot of plugins, and with SiteGround this can cause many issues with reference to memory and other problems. In fact, I had a special "tweak" cheat-sheet that I would keep around just to get around some of these issues.
