CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I have a long list of complaints and documents to prove that Siteground is the pits for Drupal, let alone CiviCRM installs.
This is just to let the community know its best to avoid Siteground at all costs.
Technologically - settings and CPU (especially), Support & Attitude - all suck.

Anyone interested can contact me for details.

I just got a message suggesting that I provide some details rather than make this a generic complaint. I siml;y dont have the bandwidth to write again, so I'll suffice in quoting what I posted at Drupal and also privide the link. here is what I said:

"I wish I had read through the community's sharing on webhosting services.
Unfortunately, I didn't and am now stuck with Siteground - they fooled me on the "Special Offer" of $4.95 for a year - and I ended up paying $33+ when the card was charged - by "automatically" adding unwanted add-ons.

Then I found their php timeout makes it near impossible to have any (other than a bare install) Drupal site work, let alone one with CiviCRM installed.

The worst part is I was again suckered into "upgrading" for better bandwidth/CPU only to find nothing changed on their php and essential settings!

To finish it off, their "Support" is worse than noobs and attitudes suck.

I agree: Avoid Siteground at all costs!
