Siteground
4.3

"I shamelessly love SiteGround. They have the best tools I've encountered for wordpress management and I find their infrastructure incredibly reliable/fast."

"They have a 70% off deal which is nice."

"Is great"
"Fasthosts or Siteground have both been good so far."
"Siteground was fine but their support was a bit slow and they got really expensive after the first year."
