Web Hosting

• SiteGround (After being a long-time HostGator gal, I made the switch to SiteGround. It’s not that HostGator did anything wrong or failed to deliver or anything else. Rather, it’s that SiteGround made a big enough impression for me to try them out and then they exceeded my every expectation by a wild mile which earned them my business and my loyalty. Meanwhile HostGator blended into the landscape until they faded into the sunset.)
