Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Coming back after 7 months of hosting to add more details. I know have 3 websites and will add more to my hosting plan. www.vividatelier.pl https://academy.thereach.ai www.thereach.ai All three of them are working flawlessly, the CDN and SSL are added to any new domain or subdomain with one click. After looking at a few hosting providers, SiteGround offered the best dedicated hosting for our website at https://thereach.ai/ , with a global CDN coverage included in the price and very good wordpress support - tools, features and after I discovered the plugins that come with it - SEO, website optimization, cache etc.

Pros

  • Great interface
  • Great dashboard
  • Made for wordpress, very quick installation

Cons

  • A lot of their competitors offer freebies, like Google ads credit or 1 year free SSL and stuff like that. I understand that for a small company that's a big cost, but wouldn't hurt for them to enter in a partnership with someone and offer things like this.

Most Important Features

  • reliability

Return on Investment

  • Amazing CDN included in the package, very fast loading times anywhere in the world
  • I host my website on SiteGround. I ran various tests and analysis tools to understand my ranking, SEO score, optimization and honestly it works much better than some of the bigger hosting brands I used in the past. In my experience, the site is responsive and fast.

I like SiteGround for the Great Support and fast loading WordPress sites

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used Siteground as an all-in-one solution for purchasing a domain, shared website hosting, and email for our business website. We wanted a platform that was user-friendly and easy to navigate on the technical back end. Through C Panel, we set up a self-hosted Wordpress website, including e-commerce, and were able to set up multiple mailboxes. We needed a solution that allowed us the ability to do things ourselves but also have support when needed.

Pros

  • Customer Support.
  • Straight Forward C Panel Interface.
  • Ease of Use.

Cons

  • Some nested menus can make certain things hard to find.
  • Too many add-ons/upsells at times.
  • Domains are more expensive than other sites.

Most Important Features

  • Affordability.
  • Ease of Use.
  • Customer Service.

Return on Investment

  • Reliable Website.
  • Consistent modes of communication with customers.
