Guaranteed Server Security
Unlike some hosting sites where your website security could be compromised one of the hosted sites is compromised, SiteGround uses a special server software that is capable of isolating each account hence ensuring this doesn’t happen.
Access to cPanel and SSH
SiteGround gives users access to the cPanel for site administration hence making it easy to move it whenever they want. SSH access also give users a wonderful user experience.
Free CDN
The cPanel comes with Cloudflare already integrated making it easy to fasten your website at the click of a button. Through this technology, you can distribute copies of your site to different servers all over the world hence reducing latency since visitors to your website receive local copies, which in turn reduces strain on the servers without compromising on security.
The SuperCacher Technology
SiteGround is one of the few sites that can store full copies of pages unlike those built from different database queries thanks to its SuperCacher feature. This greatly increases site speed significantly hence ideal for sites that are quite busy.
Easy account monitoring coupled with easy to follow usage policies. You can monitor your CPU usage right from your cPanel dashboard allowing you to upgrade if need be. SiteGround also clearly tell users of the best number of users a particular web host package can support making it easy to make relevant decisions.

Hi Bashir,
This is the best Siteground web hosting review I’ve ever seen on Internet. I’ve used Siteground hosting and believe me I was very satisfied with their services.
Other things I liked are, their fast customer support whenever I need help they helped me and the response time was very fast.
Siteground servers are very fast and secure, they are using latest technology and PHP7 to optimize and secure their servers. I’ve had not any security problem in their servers.
Thanks for sharing the good review. I would like to recommend your readers to try siteground hosting.
Regards,
Andrew

Hey Bashir,
That’s the great news, I appreciate your views. This hosting is really economical and beneficial for every website holder. The key point which I like is the CDN and domain name which comes with the hosting package for free.
Thanks for the great Siteground hosting review.
Thank you Junaid! Gad you like the SiteGround hosting review.
Hi bashir,
I have read lot of positive review about siteground since a long time but I never tried it. Since last year I’ve been using digital ocean and I’m pretty satisfied with it.
I guess I’m gonna try siteground for next project.
Hi Lawrence,
SiteGround is really a good web hosting company that’s why you’ve seen positive reviews. Glad you’re thinking to use their service. Do share your experience when you use them.
Thanks for your comment!
First time heard of SiteGuard and the pricing isn’t that bad as well. Hostgator is great but haven’t heard new bloggers are using it… that’s sad.
Hi Louis,
SiteGround is big hosting company and I’m surprised that you didn’t know about them? Well, HostGator is good hosting but now SiteGround is better choice for bloggers and small business sites. If your site grows you can try VPS or Dedicated servers with affordable price.
Thanks for your comment!
Hi Bashir,
It is important factor for any website or blog to have web hosting on good platform. Your plans are competitive and reviews are positive. Website speed should be fast so that bounce rate would be less and it is possible when web hosting provider is providing you best service.
Really amazing plans, review and services you are providing. I think SiteGround can be a good option for me next time.
You’re so right Gaurav!
