I have been using siteground.com a relatively newer web host for last couple of years, and my experience so far with them has been satisfactory, (using them for another website) It could be because i was not using much of their server resources, As i have heard thousands of stories online, that at some point when one’s website or blogs start receving huge traffic normally all web hosts (offering shared hosting accounts) tend to screw up the users, I personally know people who got screwed up by Bluehost and Dreamhost and ended up hosting their blogs elsewhere, anyway that’s way it is, What i like about siteground is their quick response to tickets, normally all tickets are responded within first two mins and resolved in five mins if it does not require too much technical assistance.
Also another reason why i prefer sitegrounds that SiteGround provides Joomla hosting services since the day Joomla! was born. SiteGround is the first host to provide free installation of Joomla 1.5 for its users. The company currently provides web space for more than 60,000 Joomla websites. For all Joomla users the SiteGround team has launched many tutorials for Joomla 1.0.x and Joomla 1.5. The tutorials include both information for beginners about how to use and manage Joomla, as well as advance instructions how to install Joomla addons and deal with certain problems. SiteGround has provided over 70 Free templates for Joomla and now has the richest collection of FREE Joomla 1.5 templates with new releases every week.
Joomla Hosting Features
SiteGround offers one feature-rich plan that perfectly accommodates Joomla 1.0.x and Joomla 1.5 sites. Over the last year, SiteGround increased its space and bandwidth quota several times and kept the same low price. SiteGround offers the best price in our list of providers ($5.95/mo) and the best space and traffic quotas, plus Free domain, Free Joomla installation and more). Here you can visit SiteGround Joomla templates gallery.
The company explains the low price for so many features with the fact that it does not pay heavy advertising costs – its customers come mainly from word-of-mouth referrals thanks to SiteGround’s excellent service.
Oh and by the way this isn’t paid review :-}}}
