Hello, After reviewing all of your support interactions, we were unable to find any traces of unprofessional manner, on the contrary your requests were being addressed to the best of our abilities despite some of them being out of our scope. To clarify, the support we advertise is equal for all our clients regardless of the plan with the only exception being the priority handling, not the scope itself. As much as we would like to help all of our clients, some cases require extensive troubleshooting that goes beyond the hosting platform and should be left to the website developer. Those are the issues that our support closed without resolving for you. Regards, The SiteGround Team

April 18, 2020Below is the email I sent to Siteground on 17 April 2020 in which I describe in details the total horror of their product and customer service. Hello, I am ecstatic to let you know that I want to cancel my services with you. The experience has been, in one word, atrocious. From day one, your hosting has been shocking, and time and time again when we sought support we were told it was our website; there were problems, there were coding issues, it was the number of plugins we use, it was the WPML plugin, it was our backup plugin, it was us opening too many tabs, it was everything possible but your service. It drove us crazy. In three months we opened over 50 support tickets, and the end result was as abysmal as it can be with none of them having solved a single issue. And now I have come to a discovery which I am delighted to share with you. A discovery that has proven that it is actually been your heinous product and service all the time. I wish to show you some screenshots of our cloned website hosted on the same VPS plan as you have, but with Chemicloud and for testing purposes on a different domain. Please enjoy the following screenshots, and while I am at it, I would like to stress that we want a total refund of our paid hosting services with you as the amount of sales we have lost due to your continuous 500 servers errors, as well as CF errors, has costed us thousands of Euros income. http://prntscr.com/s0khvb: In this screenshot you see over 26 tabs open at the same time in my browser. Whilst open, I scanned all over 50 plugins with WPML for strings, which are almost 40,000! On your VPS plan, I wasn’t even able to scan 1,000 strings without the server encountering a 500 error. To make things a little more challenging for the new host, at the very same time this was all going on I created a backup with All in One Migration, another plugin you happily told me was causing issues with your hosting. Needless to say, not a problem with Chemicloud. While I was scanning all those 40,000 strings, I also tested if this server could handle me setting the number of order items in WC from 20/page to 999/page, see http://prntscr.com/s0kkas at the very same time. No problem at all! No time-out error, nada, nothing. And so I decided to do another backup with All in One Migration. Still while scanning those files. And surely, no time out or even a much slower performance. Once the scanning of 40,000 strings was done, for good measure I did it again. And 5 minutes later again. No problem at all. And while this was all going on in the back-end, I fiercely browsed the website to see if there was any delay in opening pages (or, as what would happen with your service, we would see a 500 server error (the number of times we and our customers have seen this screen, http://prntscr.com/rvzrsv, cannot be counted). No matter how many pages I opened and kept open on the front end, adding products to my cart, deleting them, opening other pages etc. no errors… To test the last excuse I was given at some point by your staff (I was told I should close the tabs when not using as if having a few tabs open is something a VPS server can’t handle…), I left all 26 dashboard tabs open overnight and asked my colleagues to do the same, resulting in combined having over 100 active tabs open all night. I am sure by now you can guess the result? It all worked fine. For a moment you did make us believe that our site was the culprit as with fancy tools you scanned our site and with techy language kept on coming back with apparent reasons that there was nothing wrong with Siteground, but everything with our website. In true Donald Trump fashion, everything else got the blame as you conveniently dodged your own responsibility and you were happily pointing your fingers at everything and everyone but yourself. You even told us that upgrading to your highest plan would not solve our issues as the issue was our website… Chemicloud has shown us that on their Iron plan (their lowest level VPS, same specs as yours, see https://chemicloud.com/vps-hosting/) everything you told us wasn’t possible, everything that you told us was due to our website having errors, all the excuses in the world you managed to bring out, it was all total bullshit. In our last communication on 17 April, you told us that our site is heavily overloading your CPU and RAM on the server, see http://prntscr.com/s1c0sb and http://prntscr.com/s1c1vy. With above examples of how we purposely tried to exhaust Chemicloud’s server, don’t you see that your product is of inferior quality? Siteground, you have been degraded to an second class amateur. Now, I can anticipate your excuse (I have heard this one before, yawn…) in which you say that you don’t know what Chemicloud’s server configuration is, but that excuse doesn’t hold as their quality is light years ahead of you, at slightly a higher price. It’s like you’re selling me a crappy beaten up, second hand, broken down Volkswagen for pretty much the same price that Chemicloud is selling me a brand new Mercedes. And you have the guts to tell me it’s me, the driver, who doesn’t know how to drive the car and breaks it down. Totally ridiculous. And so, I demand a full refund for our hosting services with you and will transfer our site over to Chemicloud, with a smile on my face as I am about embark on a hosting journey with a provider that A) delivers, and B) doesn’t make the client believe the issue is with them. And the attitude you have by not allowing us to post tickets anymore because we have taken up too much of your time, see http://prntscr.com/s0kr83 is beyond scandalous considering from day one, your service and hosting quality, excuse my French, has been piss poor. How dare you limit access to support when it is your product that fails miserably? Siteground, you have been the worst nightmare possible in hosting-land. An to top it all off, even Chemicloud had troubles connecting to your crappy services, see http://prntscr.com/s1cnxg when they were trying to migrate the site over. I expect a confirmation of my email ASAP as well as a full refund for both the shared hosting and VPS hosting we paid. And do not hesitate to compensate us for the dozens of hours and lost income. It would behoove you to do so, although based upon our experiences I seriously doubt you have the decency to refund us for the hosting costs, let alone for all lost hours and lost income. p.s. I even totally forgot to mention the issues we encountered with some browsers (both desktop and mobile) not displaying images, see http://prntscr.com/s0kzjy. Of course, in true Siteground fashion, the blame was with our site and we were, for the gazzilionst time, referred to your friends Codeable as they’re good developers who can at super high rates fix this all. Our site doesn’t need fixing! Your hosting service do! Guess what? On Chemicloud, all browsers show images perfectly fine. Yet another massive fail from your end.

Hello Patrick, Hello Patrick, We are sorry to see you go. Our records show that you have upgraded your account from a shared hosting account to a Cloud Entry plan. Despite the upgrade, your website was still experiencing high load issues, which were caused by the WordPress configuration and plugins used at that time. Our Support reps did their best to assist you with the diagnostics and the troubleshooting of the reported issues. We understand that you are disappointed by the provided assistance from our end, but it seems that on a few occasions, you had contacted us to report issues that could not be replicated, such as the missing images issue. As the images of your website were visible in some type of browsers, and not on others, this suggests that the issue was not in the uploaded images on your hosting location, but in the way, your WordPress website was built to serve these images in different browsers. As much as we want to help all of our clients, some issues such as the speed optimization fall outside of our scope of support and need extensive troubleshooting, which is why we recommend the website owners to check with a developer of their own choice. In regards to your refund request, we see that you have fully used the prepaid monthly period for your Cloud account. As per our cancellation policy, the Cloud payments are refunded in full within the first 15 days of the upgrade in case of cancellation. Despite that, we have made a one-time exception and refunded your last monthly fee for the Cloud plan, as you are clearly not happy with the service.

April 10, 20203 to 4 days for customer services to "get back to me on my hacked site. No way to speak with anyone while I loose my ranking in Google $$$. Non-responsive, unaware of security issues within its own hosted sites. Anything good about their services?

Hello Juan, We apologize for the inconvenience. What you consider a hacking attempt on your account has become not only a security issue but also an ownership case for us. As you have no access to the account at the moment, we have to first go through a verification process before we could assist you further. We take ownership cases very seriously and investigate them thoroughly. Your case is now being reviewed by our Compliance team who should contact you today in order to resolve the case. Regards, The SiteGround Team

April 10, 2020Technical Support is rude & appalling. They are just dismissive and abrupt and try and make you feel everything is your fault rather than help. My site has been down for 24 hours now for no reason. They really have very poor interpersonal skills and don't listen. This is my first day with this host as I bought a three year package. Will be cancelling i suspect.

Hello, We are sorry to hear about this situation and would like to explain what happened. Our records show that the website was inaccessible as it was pointed to our hosting prior to the beginning of the website transfer. We are sorry if our Support agents failed to convey the respect we have for all our customers. The case was escalated to our Customer Care supervisors who would review your support interactions and take the necessary corrective measures. Regards, The SiteGround Team

February 19, 2020I began my question to talk to Supervisor or Manager but no one didn't want to attend me. No supervisor as it said, no solution to my complaint and no customer service solution. very bad customer service as I was hanged up by sale representative Ms. Toni during conversation with her. How terrible and unacceptable service of Siteground!

December 04, 2019I just moved my hosting from Hostgator to SiteGround and so far I have never seen such an excellent customer service ever! SiteGround claims to offer superior and best customer support in the whole web hosting industry. They are literally fast and customer support as per their claim. I've never faced any downtime from the last 11 months. Almost 100% uptime recorded. When it comes to loading speed and uptime, Siteground looks flawless. SiteGround is immensely better than my previous web host, Hostgator. Its Customer support is just awesome, Especially the chat support is good. I found one drawback, their renewal cost is very high.

November 17, 2019SiteGround failed get my domain transferred and I had to revert to my previous hosting service and pay them what SiteGround couldn’t do. SiteGround refused to refund my domain registration fees even though the did nothing. No site transfer! No domain registration! Plus, they failed to configure my email accounts correctly. After 3 separate attempts to troubleshoot email issues, I was left with an excuse that my email client was broken and I’d have to take it up with MacMail. Seriously?!? I’ve successfully set up several email accounts with Mac before this. IMAP or POP3 doesn’t matter. SiteGround suggested webmail would be an adequate solution. SERIOUSLY?!? I want to use Mail because it is integrated with apps on my laptop, iPad and iPhone. I don’t want to use a second rate web browser to access my email!!! That’s not a solution at all! I requested full refund for my prepaid hosting services and a transcript of my last chat, As of now, I still haven’t received confirmation for either. FRAUD!!!

Hi James, We were sorry to hear you have decided to discontinue your account with us. We reviewed your case and we would like to address your comments separately. With regard to the domain name transfer, it is correct that as per our money-back policy this service is not eligible for a refund as it is custom-tailored for you as a client. The records in our system show the process could not be completed because the submission of EPP code was not successful and the transfer did not go through. Please note this information is taken from the previous domain registrar and you fill it out in the transfer forms and as we do not have access to these details we could not assist further with the transaction. We acknowledge that since the domain transfer was not completed you have not used the service with us, and we made an exception to our policy and issued a full refund for it. We also want to confirm that as per your request via chat, your hosting account was canceled and we issued a full refund for your plan. The money will be returned to you within the next 7-10 business days. We have sent a copy of the transcript from the chat session to the administrative email address of the hosting account We understand that you prefer using MacMail as an email client and our team has tried 3 different options of the setup troubleshooting the error you encountered but unfortunately, none of them lead to a solution to the problem. We would like to clarify that we have tested and made sure that the email service works on server level and this was confirmed by the successful sending and receiving of a test email via the webmail. This result left the MacMail client itself as being the origin of the problem and our agent has suggested you contact their support and ask for assistance on the proper way to set up the email using the SiteGround configuration. We have only offered to consider using the webmail as an alternative for emails until you get back to us from MacMail's support on how the issue could be resolved permanently. Regards, SiteGround Team

October 02, 2019I moved some of domains here from GoDaddy after doing some extensive reviews of performance; I am not convinced that there is really much difference between the two. Also, pricing can be higher than GoDaddy in some cases and they do not offer NodeJS options on any service other than an expensive dedicated server. I am starting to now explore AWS as an option.

September 23, 2019I've been using Siteground for a few years now to host my website. I'm not a website developer so having a provider with an excellent service is really a priority for me. My previous website provider was cheap but my site was slow and there was no service. I would recommend Siteground to both novices and developers.

Customer Support Has Significantly Reduced
Siteground used to be great, and I recommended their support to anyone. But now they have limited my support saying I overuse it (Last month did support 6 times because of quarantine, other than that it is about 1x per month). I am paying for "priority support", am receiving terrible support, don't get the "24/7" support anymore, and am treated terribly. I have raised tickets asking about this and they just shut it down. I understand everyone is having issues with the times right now, but now is not the time to provide terrible support to your customers who have been with you for over 5 years (and pay for their hosting 3 years in advance, and was going to upgrade to higher cloud hosting).
