Megan is one of the people we often see mentioning SiteGround in Twitter. That is how she got this “word of mouth hero” t-shirt 🙂 She is a professional web designer with substantial experience with Joomla and we thank her for all the good feelings she has shared.

It is my pleasure to present now Teifion Jordan from UK who has created and maintained for nearly 7 years an interesting play by post game, called World of Arl and is now interested in a completely different and surprising area. Keep reading to find out which it is. Continue reading “Meet Teifion Jordan: “I’ve stuck with SiteGround for half a decade because it works.””

It’s time for the second interview from our new blog series – “Meet our very special customers”. Today we introduce to you Saleh Bucay from Saudi Arabia. He has more than 10 websites hosted with us, and his first website was uploaded on our servers only 2 months after launching SiteGround.com. What fascinates us most though are the projects he’s involved in. Read through the interview with him to learn who the Maranao people are and what the organization he’s involved in does to empower Muslim women.

This is the first interview from our new blog series where we introduce some of the SiteGround customers that have stood out during the years. We start with presenting the CEO of a Belgian web design studio webnology.be

I work for SiteGround since the company was founded and I still remember well these hard and romantic times in the beginning, when each of us knew the name and the website of almost all our customers. Now, seven years and thousands of customers later, as a head of the Marketing Department, I seldom have the chance to get to know in such details anyone using our services. However, at the end of the last year I got a new opportunity to learn more about some of our most outstanding clients. We had an initiative to find the most loyal customers and to surprise them with custom-made t-shirts and with a blog post with an interview with each of them.  So this is the start of a series that will present:

Customers who have built many websites and host them all with us

There were many people in this category and the person we will be happy to start with, is Michel Smekens, the SEO of a web design bureau in Belgium: webnology.be, who has chosen to host their customers with us. He will tell us more about his work and his reasons for being with SiteGround in his featured interview. Continue reading “Meet our very special customers – a new blog series”

On behalf of the whole SiteGround team we would like to say a big “Thank you!” to all customers, who took part in our Thanksgiving initiative! The true stories you shared on your websites about your SiteGround experience were absolutely amazing, sincere and inspired. It is great to see that our team and service are appreciated for the things we believe are important and put special effort on. So it is our turn to say:

I recently overheard my mother telling one of her neighbors that I work as a computer programmer. You can imagine my surprise, as I am a marketing person, and I have never written a single line of anything even remotely resembling a source code. But it was definitely not my mother’s fault, it was me, apparently not being able to explain to her what web hosting is and what I do in a web hosting company. The thought that the situation can be similar for many of my co-workers worried me a little, because as Albert Einstein says: “You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother.”

I know that each and everyone in SiteGround is a fine expert in his/her day-to-day activity, but what each of us tend to miss to some extent is the big-picture perspective. So here comes the first internal conference aiming to make all of us understand the underlying trends in our industry and the company business strategies better.

As Halloween is getting near we went through the pictures from the last year SiteGround wild costume party and we remembered the great fun we had! Someone from the support team joked how great it would be if this year we can invite one of the funniest customers Mr. Jones, whose tickets have always been written with a great sense of humor, and see what costume he will choose. At first we laughed but after a while it stroke me that there is a place, where we can really invite all our friends and see how original they get. This place is our Facebook page, where we organized a Halloween Photo contest.
