What is Reddit's opinion of SiteGround?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I started with https://siteground.com they have free SSL, there's chat support that's always online, and it's always up. Only thing I don't like is that their domains are expensive at $16 a month, you should use some other site like www.namesilo.comfor an $8 .com domain then point it at them.

Sadly it changes every year or two because a big thing in the web hosting world is company acquisitions. A lot of hosts that start out good get acquired by other companies and then their service quality gets gutted.

A general rule of thumb is to never use Godaddy, and never use an EIG-owned host.

Right now people say good things about Siteground.com. I haven't used them myself.

I use https://siteground.com to host all my nsfw sites. Their chat support doesn't even mind when i ask them to debug some error, they just log into the porn site and fix it as normal x). There's also Free SSL which is a must for me.

OP: Digitalocean is a fantastic company and have incredible tutorials free to use on their site but understand that they offer virtual private servers. This is great if you want to learn the basics of setting up and taking care of a server but it is not great if you want to jump right to the actual website work.

For a quick start up for a low price I'd recommend SiteGround. They have been my go to for clients for a while now. They take care of most of the server setup, upkeep, and optimizations for you so it's a great place to start. What makes them different than a lot of others is the tools and access they provide. You can SSH in if you want to play around with a terminal, they have GIT if you wanna learn that, they offer a backup service. I think they are best in class.

They are a shared host (google it, it means you share a giant machine with others) and that allows them to be cheaper than DO. It's great for beginners.

Live strong: 1000gbs? What!? Where did you get that number? 1000gbs from where to where? Even if that were the case from server to server inside their network (which I'd be surprised ) there is no chance you will ever see close to those speeds on the client. DO is a fantastic company but that number seems made up.

Wordpress.org recommends https://siteground.com and bluehost as 'official hosting' of wordpress, whatever that means. I do like siteground though, it's been good to me the last 3 years. They have free SSL, there's chat support that's always online, and it's $3.95 a month for the starter package and it's always up.

She didn't really need a business account. She just needed hosting. And WordPress hosting is cheap these days. You can self host on google cloud for free most sites. Siteground.com has a great WordPress hosting at 1/5th the cost of WP hosting. Sorry I can't be of help.

Not all hosting websites are horribly designed at least for me , i find : hostgator.com siteground.com xtreamcoderz.com and some other really simple and beautiful

to answer your question, yeas i do repair asic boards , have 16 L3+ boards i got to get done, plus have some asic testers to get finished as well as hash board hex code editors done as well.. yea we busy busy lol plus bachelor of CS at Purdue. I've been fighting with my previous host, it crashed a while back. i didn't get the customer support i expected, or needed, so its gone, i spent sooooo much time on that site, i just signed with siteground.com they pitched me a number i couldn't refuse. waiting on them to get the dns stuff switched and all that jazz. I'm working on the right now, on top of we just spoke with an attorney about a civil suite against eBay and PayPal. as of today they have honestly cost my wife and roughly 250k in revenue with my projections being verified and realistic. im working on my sight and simultaneously loading Linux on some pcs.

• Siteground is located in Bulgaria
• I Want to Host Your website has hosting in Finland, UK and Bulgaria

Now...Bulgaria and Finland are both in the European Union, UK...is in Europe but not in the European Union.

On the sidebar there is friends of /r/webhosting with some UK/Euroe hosts.

Neither links above on on the friends of widget on the sidebar are affiliate links.

Please do not use WIX or any other generic website building platform. You will kick yourself from the moment you want to grow or expand.

First, get decent hosting from hosting providers like siteground.com and then install a regular WordPress website.

Then start building your store and connect your POD or dropship. You will have more control and room to expand.

As far as building the same store on multiple websites is not a good idea. The best idea is to create one really great website and drive traffic to that one website.

I hope this helps.

Found a comparison of features of these here, I went from Bluehost which was absolutely PAINFUL to SiteGrounds, also I think Liquid Web has 50% off for the first 3 months too! I tried A2Hosting and BlueHost and SiteGrounds and BY FAR SiteGrounds is the best! You even get an awesome hosting and domain panel, which for newbies is a must!

it's a lot faster than something like siteground.com which is where i switched from to start using DO. I went from 4 seconds load time to 1.8 seconds. Not sure why but i think they have less software and layers of stuff on DO

sitegroundwill try to bill you for $20 a month after a year which sucks. They are also a lot slower than DO

As soon as i moved from siteground to DO my site speed went from 3.5s to 1.2s which is ridiculous. Siteground servers have a log of baggage even if you do cloud hosting

I currently use wordpress on top of Digital Ocean - droplet is 5$ a month. I started on Siteground.com for hosting though, for $2.95/month for first year. Domain was $12. I bought a wordpress theme for $29 on themeforest.

So... ~ 80$ startup cost?

1. Makes no difference to you in the price you pay. Visit https://siteground.com or https://pointandstare.com/hosting and you'll pay the same.

1, I wouldn't bother with free hosting, if you can actually find any, as it'll be totally awful and insecure and covered in ads. Possibly check you domain registrar to see if they off it as part of your domain package.

ok thanks, makes sense to me! Anyway I am going to wait for some other suggestions, I have checked those buyshared, veerotech, drserver and I am not sure, siteground.com seems to be still the best choice in my case, I don't know.

If you're not wholly against keeping cPanel, we use siteground.com for our our site. They use cPanel, which will make the migration easier (use WHM on your end to create the full cPanel backup, get that to them, and their support will restore into their account). Or just give them the account user/pass and they can migrate. Repoint DNS and you're done. I used to manage cPanel-powered servers of my own, too, and it can become a headache from a hardware/management/etc... standpoint, but cPanel has always worked pretty well and my old pre-MSP clients seemed to like it. But it makes migrations like this MUCH easier, whether the site's running wordpress or not.

DM if you're interested as I think I have a referral link somewhere here that will get me like 45-cents or something off my plan ;-)

WHy do they suck - backend is a never ending maze of links going nowhere. Support is slow, price is actually nothing special.

I use siteground.com and put all my client's on it. But I maintain one website for a RELATIVE of mine, they are using Godaddy. They have put up with GD for 20 years, even though it has cost them thousands of dollars in extra web work and lost revenue. I keep telling them to switch hosting - they think this is easier. They are f'n crazy.
Hostgator -they are pretty bad too.

Use SiteGround for your host. It will cost you $3.95 a month for the basic, which gives you 10gb a month of storage, free CDN, fast load times and great support.

Use Wordpress to create the site, easy to use, free templates and easy to install with SiteGround (1-click).

Check out Siteground. Their support is awesome, fast load times and only 4 bucks a month. I host several wordpress sites with them and havent had any issues. ASmallOrange is also good, fast load times and relatively cheap.

Good luck.
