Hi if you plan to host with Siteground and you send out a newsletter be prepared for the following in smallprint:
The Customer should use the email and other related services in full compliance with the terms below:
1. Each customer's account is allowed to send a maximum of 400 emails per hour. Any account that exceeds this limitation is endangering the overall server performance.
2. Each email sent by the customer should have NO more than 20 recipients. Sending a single email to more than 20 recipients simultaneously is endangering the overall server performance.
3. The use of email clients with IMAP protocol is allowed for mailboxes with a maximum size up to 100MB. Any use of IMAP with a bigger mailbox is endangering the overall server performance.
4. SiteGround allows up to 100 checks per hour for a POP3 mailbox. Any use of POP3 service to check a mailbox more often than 100 times per hour is endangering the overall server performance.
If only I had read the smallprint! Now they want £40.00 a month to upgrade me to a virtual
server. Bad move! Learn't my lesson.

Simply an awful host from my expereince throughout 2006.
They apparently provide 40GB of web space and 900GB month transfer, but in reality these figures are pretty much meaningless, as their servers cannot cope and so they put in T&C to arbitarily limit disc space, or else have many downtimes . We have had problems with email on the account.
Add to this, poor customer care (which they say is good, but only if you dont need to contact them!) and the whole experience of siteground is pure grief. As I say, dont touch them with a barge pole, despite they seemingly good feature lists and hard sell, unless you dont care how reliable your website will be.

Apart low pricing policies of SiteGround, fastness of the servers and the sercice practically up 24/7/365, i would like to remark professionality, friendly way and the fastly solving of problems/deals (2/3 minutes) from their support staff.
They really make every possible effort.
When i subscribed with them an hosting plan, registering of my domain was free and everything was up in a couple of hours (they even phoned me too from the USA about some details).
I'm surely going to renew my subscribtion with them: it's a "gold" service.

I have been hosted at SiteGround for about a year and a half and honestly I have never had a bad day there.
In my opinion, the Tech Support Team is great! They helped me move my Mambo website to them (my other host was real nightmare), helped me rebuild it, and with the help of their great tutorials I’m managing my website with no hassle. Once I signed up, I had my website up and running almost immediately.
The response time has always been well up to standard. The same applies to all their departments – billing, sales, etc, etc. They really had this 7 ticket limitation on the tickets a client may post. I was disappointed at first, however after they explained me why they placed it, I started to see the results – faster and more detailed replies…Now the limitation is gone so I believe that the new SiteGround’s clients should not be scared of that.

If you complain about them in their forums, especially their forum where users review them, moderation makes sure it won't show up.
Their tech support used to have 7 tickets and then they charged you. Now it's multiple but all their techs are newbies.
Their servers have constant problems and errors, making their promised features not work and their techs outright refuse to fix them. CPANEL not working, random errors from their servers being overloaded that they try to blame on your site, lag, etc.

I had an awful experience with SiteGround. Stay away from them. I signed up to use Mambo and their auto-installation did not work. Then after spending hours and hours of time to get add-ons for Mambo to work, it turned out to be their server. Their support said they could not help. They claim to be the best CMS hosting company around but they are clearly not.
Also, their return policy is filled with exceptions so you do not really get your money back within 30 days. What a waste of time. SiteGround sucks.

DO NOT HOST with Siteground. Their tech support very bad. While I'm sure there are a few competent people working at SG, the people I have dealt with have not been. I advise doing a search for reviews of siteground. Most will complain that they are slow and unable to deliver the product. I constantly get connection: close

SiteGround is HORRIBLE!!!
I have been using ez-web-hosting for 5 years and there were no problems, except for it’s a rip off.
Then I transferred SiteGround. They stepped me through the add on domain process while I was on the phone, they didn’t say that the 120.00 I was spending that moment was non-refundable.
After going back and forth with them with email on their very confusing support ticket system, I cancelled in two days.
They won’t refund me — phuck the 30 days Guarantee.
They will only refund me 51.00 of the 191.00 that I spent!!! They said I should have read all this, yeah right while I’m on the phone. They should tell you that add ons are not refundable. I would have not signed up with them in the first place.
I switched to BLUEHOST.com WOW. 6 add ons for FREE and Ruby Hosting too. It’s faster and there’s 24/7 telephone support in the USA. Amazing host.
Please tell everyone not to use Site Ground.

I recently moved my website - http://www.traderstime.com - to Site Ground and have had nothing but great smooth sailing so far. Also, their support is the best!
