I recommend SiteGround Hosting, but Who is it for?
Choosing the right hosting company can be an insurmountable task full of features, recommendations, and affiliate links*. There are a wide range of them, depending on what you need and what you know. A few months ago, for example, I switched this site to Liquid Web. Why don’t I just recommend them to everyone? Well the short answer is not everyone needs Liquid Web. I know it and they know it too. There’s no “one size fits all” hosting company; that’s why I recommend two. And today, I’m going to tell you why I recommend SiteGround.

Why SiteGround?
Let’s get right to it: Why do I recommend SiteGround? In-short, because they are the best general hosting company. Their price is in that sweet spot between suspiciously cheap and too rich for my blood. They also offer a good number of features I look for:
- cPanel for more control over sites and ease of use
- Let’s Encrypt for free SSL protection
- 1-click install of WordPress (through cPanel)
- The ability to manage Databases (through cPanel)
- The ability to add more than 1 site in an account
- Automatic updates for WordPress
They also offer helpful support, backups, and a bunch of other valuable services that make SiteGround worth using. I’ve been with them for a while now and SiteGround has been nothing but reliable.
