#1 Web Host Amazing Siteground (Reasons to Choose Them)

I 100% recommend SiteGround as a web hosting company. And, not only because I have an affiliate link with them. My disclosure is on my About page and that last link will take you there.

In fact, I have an affiliate link because they are such fantastic company.

I love it when a business lives up to its promises. SiteGround certainly do that!

SiteGround rocks! Here is what I wrote about them earlier today in my blog post. All SiteGround posts are gathered in one category in the drop down menu on the sidebar.

This is a transcript of the pre-sales live chat I had with them –

Your Chat Transcript on 22/03/2016
Stanislav G.: Hey there, Stephen and welcome
Stanislav G.: Nice to have you over
Stanislav G.: Hope you are doing fine today
Stephen Bentley: I’m fine thanks
Stanislav G.: Moving your websites over sounds great and I will be glad to help you out with this. We do offer one free website/cPanel migration with all our packages and if your 2 websites are under one cPanel, we will move them as part of the promo and absolutely free of charge
Stanislav G.: If that is the case, our migration guys will be glad to handle the whole move and save you the time and efforts
Stephen Bentley: Yes they are both on the same CPanel
Stanislav G.: Brilliant!
Stanislav G.: Than we will take care of everything for you
Stanislav G.: and the process itself takes just a couple of hours, depending on the websites size and the connection between the servers
Stanislav G.: 24 hours is the most it can take, although it takes much less in most of the cases
Stephen Bentley: OK I think you have answered my question. I will order Thursday when I have nore funds in my bank 🙂
Stanislav G.: That sounds good and what I was about to ask – when is the move scheduled for 🙂
Stephen Bentley: I beat you to it 🙂
Stanislav G.: You did, I must admit 🙂
Stephen Bentley: Hahaha! Thanks for your help
Stanislav G.: That’s the least I could do for you, Stephen!
Stephen Bentley: OK Take care
Stanislav G.: Whenever you are ready to start, just get back or let me know, so I can walk you trough it and make sure it all goes smooth
Stanislav G.: 🙂
Stephen Bentley: OK, do you mean before I place my order?
Stanislav G.: Only if you need help, of course! I was about to offer you to walk you trough it, but since you mentioned you are not doing it now, we will have to postpone it
Stephen Bentley: No problems. I will do it Thursday and I think I can manage it by myself 🙂
Stanislav G.: I am sure you will! Still if anything pops up, don’t hesitate to get back, we are here 24/7 for you 🙂
Stanislav G.: May I have the domains you plan to move over just for personal records?
Stephen Bentley: expatinbacolod.com and stephenbentley.info
Stanislav G.: Awesome, thank you!
Stanislav G.: Okay, then wish you a great rest of your day and will be looking forward to working with you 🙂
Stanislav G.: Bye for now and take care
Stephen Bentley: OK, Bye.
