2016 Client Survey Results Are Out!

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.

PHP 7.0 is Now Default on SiteGround Servers

Last December we were among the first hosting companies to make PHP 7.0 available on our entire infrastructure. Thanks to our system which allows multiple PHPs to be used on one server, anyone could have switched to PHP 7.0 since its zero-day release, while we still kept an older and well-tested PHP version as the global default setting. Now, an year later we believe it’s time for the next step – setting PHP 7.0 as default for all new accounts.
