it’s really annoying to try to get support from @SiteGround, why is it so difficult to get to a support agent? any way to do it directly without passing so many filters that are annoying because they don’t even work properly

You pay for what you get. Instead of paying a low introductory fee and then getting high prices a year or two later, you just pay for what you need now. It’s easy to scale up and down. Cloudways makes cloud hosting easy to start. The process of setting up your websites and server is simple and quick. The UI/UX design is great too. Very intuitive and simple. It’s also fast and reliable which is something you don’t want to mess with for websites. Also their support team has been great. They’ve been quick to respond to any issues I’ve experienced.

Run, don’t walk to cancel your existing provider and migrate everything to Cloudways. You won’t regret it. These guys offer the best combo of services together and the best price around. And the sites you run are blazing fast with wicked good caching.

What is happening @SiteGround? You use to be so efficient and reactive. On @uptimia: out of 60 Websites on this server 10 are down, the ones that are up are super slow compared to what they usually are. Are you experiencing any particular issue?

I want to give a quick shoutout to @Cloudways, the host of my site. With the events taking place this week, I’ve received nearly a month’s worth of traffic in three days. Their server is going strong, never slowed down and remains fast despite the pressure. Thank you!.
