- Freelancers! NEVER Use Siteground for Web Hosting! Here's Why
All freelancers need a website to help you establish a professional image, but NEVER NEVER NEVER use Siteground as your host unless you like being overcharged for non-existent service and jumping through BS hoops to get anything done. Siteground started off good, but over the years, they've turned to absolute trash and today I finally said goodbye (and by that I mean go f*ck yourself Siteground). Thanks.

We now have a thread on The Fastlane Forum for businesses to avoid like Siteground and PayPal: www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/companies-to-avoid-as-you-succeed-in-your-fastlane.105718/#post-1028726
You should never purchase domains and hosting on the same platform. That's pretty basic knowledge. It's because of this simple reason. If you hate your hosting service, you can easily just change the DNS to a different host really easily. You should never do an all-in-one hosting platform. Use the best one for each scenerio.
true?
Agree 100%, this is something I've learnt while starting up my business and becoming more knowledgeable about these things.
You can always transfer. I just transferred from go daddy to SiteGround, no problems
If you already know and like your hosting platform though, then keeping the domain there too is no problem
@@digitalmurph4114 not best practice. Hosting providers change service/pricing over time and there's always better competition. I end up switching every few years because of this. It's either because of quality degradation or a competitor has much better quality, performance, and pricing.
Hi Lex, Thank you for this video. Keeping doing what you're doing, because you're doing it good;).
Letting $17 cost you tens of thousands is just stupid. Goodbye Siteground.
Hey, Lex, I have similar story with another hosting provider. Ran away from them for my own good 😀
Thanks from sharing your experience and Chemicloud please make more videos for this
Hey Lex, thank you for this video. I too am going through a similar issue. Except I only have 5 websites and SG sold my most popular site to some off brand domain. Were you able to move all your domains and did you have to pay SG to do so?
I also run away from siteground. I moved to digital ocean and my page went from grade F to grade A without any change. It is extremly slowly. Siteground then try to overcharge you and turn off server if you do not overpay. That cheat with performance unit constantly contacting you that your cpu time is finished.
good video, im looking for a new hosting, any hosting recommend ?
Hostinger
Thanks. How can I cancel my account? Have no any contact...
What are your thoughts on Shopify as a website host?
Nice vid
This is 100% on the money! Siteground is AWFUL they treat you like garbage - everyone is an affiliate of them because they are expensive but it is all nonsense. Let's share this - I also genuinely HATE siteground
I have paid for Siteground for several perhaps five, But at inception, I got ill and so for that length of time kept up my subscriptions.. Bad move told them I had suffered a brain damage incident.. and tried to get Growbig refund, but alas no luck. I wasn't bleating just explaining, it was as though (their reply) it's not our fault....ETC. So I paid and I am so glad that I have found your VID and comments. So I will trash them and move. Just have one question though....would it be expedient for me to just download WordPress and begin from an unsupported format, I know it sounds like a rhetorical question but I could purchase security ETC independently.
they remove email encryption option several others. I totally agree i used for almost 8 years now this trash site tool in place without even asking they just did silently.
I hear you on support though.
Good man. Vote with your money.
Lol at "Run like the plague".
Definitely! :D
Thank you for this
What would you suggest as an alternative? I'm not a huge fan of hostinger because their support isn't good either, people have had issues with downtime, and not to mention the security breach back in 2019. Right now I'm looking at either cloudways or namehero. Any thoughts on either of those?
We will be happy to help, we are an honest company! We don't cheat customers...
What's your conclusion so far?
@@myftcloudwhat is your company's name
I just got site ground and I can see it instantly. There is no support and their questions are all basic. If it's not about setting up an email or something basic that anybody who has used web hosting before know how to do on their own, it's not in there. Once you give them your money, you are on your own.
My bro just had enough
For real! It's time to crush these companies!!!!!!!
Interesting.
how has Chemicloud's service been my friend? Would love an update
Wonderful. Feels like Siteground did 10 years ago when I first signed up.
@@lexdevillefreelancing Do you still feel the same about Chemicloud?
@lexdevillefreelancing hey what you think about them now?
I have more than 100 websites hosting with siteground.. not a problem till now... In the past I had issues with hostgator and Bluehost..
What did you do?
Use AWS instead
You are correct, Siteground is bottom of the barrel, just garbage company, spot on.
TFW this video was actually preceded by a siteground ad. At least they'll end up paying you for that :-p
bahahaha that's hilarious! Thanks for sharing! 😆
sitegrounds support is NON EXISTANT im so pissed
This sounds more like probles with domain name, purchasing rather than their hosting services
I believe that if they continue deceiving consumers like this, they will eventually fail. A company that prioritizes money above all else and is unethical.
just a spontaneous thought but it's loga art reminds me of South American .. huehuehue!! thanks for the content
NEVER LIKED SITEGROUND
all you say is pure nonsense.
😅
Yeah, Lex is pretty much describing 90% of hosting services, which is why I really don't care for even having a website.
Started with Hostgator, that sucked. Went to Bluehost, that started out good and then sucked.
And with AI starting to take over most of the workforce, freelancing in and of itself is on the way out it seems. Would like to see Lex talk about that because it's important.
I hate siteground , fuck it , kept charging money from my credit card
Good I saw this and started with Chemicloud. Will update how it goes in the future
hey, how do you feel about chemicloud now?
Yes please give us your opinion of chemicloud
looking forward your review!
I dont get this i got one site with siteground , n the chat SUPPORT ALWAYES helped me out... but to get to the support its fuking frustrating i agree fuking bs..i forget how to go sometimes to support lol
Have u thought of building your own using OVH? it’s really easy to get your own reseller and create your own cpanel.
No, I don't even know what OVH stands for haha. But honestly, it would be one more thing to eat my time. I want it handled for me, and it should be easy and affordable. :D
