Web Hosting Features

SiteGround has a quick 3-click setup process and a setup tool that lets clients easily add web applications in their website. SiteGround cPanel is designed with a professional look which is integrated on their client billing site. However, it still lacks in some areas such as email virus filters. It also doesn’t offer unmetered or unlimited bandwidth in its services.

Although it offers compatibility with major programming languages, some of these are only available thru its GroBig and GoGeek plans. SiteGround supports all major types of multimedia files for seamless integration during website creation.

The company delivers a quick 15-minute ticket response times. Online resources like video tutorials and forums are constantly updated. SiteGround also provides 24/7 customer support for any service related issues.
