Server monitoring and vulnerability management tool

About SiteGround

SiteGround is a cloud-based vulnerability management tool that helps businesses leverage AI technology to monitor and identify potential issues across servers. The application automatically prevents botnet attacks across all servers to prevent unauthorized access and secure other hosting resources.

Using SiteGround’s control panel, organizations can perform automatic backups and encrypt confidential information through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols. It allows managers to create on-demand backups of sites, add collaborators on the platform, and configure their access permissions. With the WordPress Starter plugin, users can add various functionalities and widgets, such as contact forms, portfolio, or online stores, across their website.

SiteGround provides a staging tool, which enables developers to create a testing environment of their sites and perform updates before pushing them live across the business website. The software also helps users forecast potential issues and resolve them according to requirements.

After trying several services, I've settled with SiteGround. They are good at what they do and they are also recommended by the makes of WordPress. I think they might get paid for it but they also deliver and it is not just words.

Pros

Well managed hosting for WordPress, Little to no downtime, extremely good control panel with SSH capabilities and of all value for money! They are really good at what they do! Customer support is fast and resolve issues very quickly. Their migration tools help cut the time of migrating things and the systems are smooth for WordPress installations. A few of my clients run the WooCommerce with over 50k products and it woks flawlessly.

Cons

CDN is not the best! Also I think Siteground servers are targeted by bots. I generally insist on protecting with a dedicated IP and Cloudflare or Sucuri Service.

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.

Pros

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

Cons

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.

Due to the positive results with hosting we assumed twice now that the add on services would be the way to go only to be disappointed.

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Reasons for Choosing SiteGround

They don't meet our expectations - from slow, laggy and incompetent customer support to dirt-cheap pricing. Yes, pricing. They seem cheap, but that will be your downfall as well.

Reasons for Switching to SiteGround

I guess, because SiteGround, despite being costly meets our needs and wants as a start-up company. Others are just pure expensive with a lot to less of what we need. Using SiteGround with there revamped user interface is such a breeze - from installing new websites, extending your plans, payments, customer support. No such thing in any other hosting provider as far as my experience is concerned.
