Who it's not for	Price-sensitive buyers staying past year one	Anyone shopping for actual software . nothing here to buy or run
Privacy	No hosting-infrastructure breaches found in sources; several 2025-2026 CVEs exist in SiteGround's own WordPress plugins.¹¹	No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed.
Support quality	Long-praised, but recent complaints of decline	Customers rate it 4/5 on Trustpilot.
Public sentiment	Users praise reliability, uptime, and beginner-friendly support, but a vocal group complains about steep renewals and declining service.^¹	Public user feedback is thin: a 4/5 Trustpilot rating and sparse Reddit chatter, with no detailed quotes captured.¹⁵
