A few months ago, I switched hosting companies. I had been with DreamHost but decided it was time for a change after my site went offline for several hours (which I had discovered and reported). I disliked its upselling tactics and inconsistent customer support. Also, DreamHost appeared to care more about its website’s design than the performance of its servers. It’s worth noting that DreamHost—alongside Bluehost, HostGator, iPage, and OVH—were recently vulnerable to “simple account takeover hacks.” Given my experiences with DreamHost, I’m not surprised to learn of its vulnerabilities.
In my search for a new host, I chose SiteGround (SG). Its been around since 2004 and supports nearly two million domains. SG routinely ranks well in comparison articles and reviews.
