2016 marked another great year for us – our 12th in the hosting business. We kept growing our team, became a distributed company, upgraded our platform for even more security and stability and did a bunch of other great things! We gathered it all in our annual recap to share our moments of hard work, achievement, and joy with all of you. Join us in celebrating our milestones of 2016!

At the end of 2016, we ran our traditional client survey to take a snapshot of the current profile of our users and to measure their satisfaction levels with our service. When we received the first results we were quite excited, but at the same time, we opened them with little fear. After all, we doubled our client base in 2016 and we were eager to see if we have managed to keep the high satisfaction rates of the previous years.

“Everyone is creative. Everyone is welcome.” This is part of the manifesto of CreativeMornings–a global monthly breakfast lecture series for the creative community. Their motto in the spirit of our Community Series is just part of the reason why we love and support our local CM chapter. It is also what inspired our joint #CMCreativeTravels campaign that will take one person from our community to a CreativeMornings event of their choice anywhere in the world. But first, a little background.
CreativeMornings originated in NYC and is now happening in over 150 cities around the world. Ever since we stumbled upon our first CM talk years ago, we’ve been great fans of the series and the values it promotes, since they resonate very deeply with our own: creativity, inclusivity, connection and collaboration. That’s why when we found out that Sofia, the city of our headquarters, is about to become part of the global CreativeMornings family, we could not wait to get involved. We reached out to the organizing team and said we wanted to help out. Ever since we cannot imagine spending every last Friday morning of the month any other way – and it’s been almost a year now.
Four years ago we stumbled on the following somewhere on the web: “Offscreen – a print-only magazine about the people behind the internet and technology.” Naturally, our first thought was “Why make a print magazine for people who spend most of their time online?” It certainly piqued our curiosity, and that’s how we came to order our first issue of Offscreen. It was also issue No1 – a brand new magazine. Today, we happily received Issue No14 at the SiteGround office.

I’ve been at SiteGround ever since I can remember – more than 11 years now. I have seen it grow from a couple to almost 300 employees. I have collaborated closely with all of our departments on all kinds of projects. However, this latest one was hands-down one of the most fun and gratifying I’ve ever worked on – that’s why I wanted to tell you about it.
Over the last 12 months, we have been working hard on new in-house developed chat software. The aim was to implement a series of improvements that would make the customer experience better and the work of our customer care departments even more efficient. Now I am very happy to announce that the new chat has been launched and we are already enjoying all the great improvements it introduced.
14th of November, what a day.. I woke up at 6am, which is extremely unusual for me. However, the jetlag and the constant beeps from the birthday wishes coming to my phone made it much easier. Yes, it was my birthday and yes, I was far away from home. To be more precise I was in Orlando and the unusual plan for my birthday included meeting few of the SiteGround customers for the first ever SiteGround Open Bar event!
Hello, I’m Robbie Adair, and I’m one of the co-organizers of the first annual JoomlaDay Houston here in Texas. We are excited about the upcoming event and have a fantastic line-up of speakers. You can view the schedule and more details on the site – joomladayhouston.com.
Brace yourself, Europe! In October the SiteGround crew is coming for the biggest WordPress conference on the old continent – WordCamp Europe! And that’s not all – four of our clients will have the chance to win a free entry ticket for the event and be invited as VIP guests at the SiteGround booth and at a special SiteGround dinner.
Ever heard of „cowboy coding“? More or less, we’ve all done it – no time for planning, let alone test website changes, each new upload messing up your CSS, installing an incompatible plugin, doing everything „live“ and visible immediately for all your website visitors to see. After all this, you end up hoping you had a backup.
