Tear off SiteGround and Hostinger hosting pseudo-halo, multi-user stepping on the pit experience sharing

Today a user complained to Xiaodi that SiteGround hosting prompted CPU overrun and the website was suspended, and asked to upgrade to the $44.99/month package. His SG hosting still has a few months to expire, before consulting Xiaodi said that he wanted to switch to ChemiCloud hosting at the end of the period, but he had to change it immediately after encountering this incident.

Prompts that the site is suspended ↓. On a side note: if it'sChemiCloud HostingInstead of shutting down the website in case of resource overload, it temporarily restricts the access of IPs with excessive access to maintain the resource balance, which is more humanized.

Send an email requesting an upgrade from the current $6.69/month package to the $44.99/month package ↓.

He is now using GrowBig $6.69/month package, about 1W exposure per month, put their own foreign trade website. According to reason this should not exceed the right, things happen in this renewal node is also intriguing.

In fact, this is the host business commonly used routines, Hostinger this trick also played very 6. deliberately misreported that the host CPU or hard disk reading and writing exceeds the limit, the site is suspended, you need to upgrade the package. Some people don't have that expertise, don't know what's going on, afraid that the website can't be accessed properly affecting the business to upgrade the package.

Some people may say that this is not afraid of affecting the reputation and forcing away customers? The users who understand this scheme would not have gone to the high price of renewal, the expiration of the replacement. Do not understand this scheme, but there are many people with money, there will always be users will choose to believe, spend money to “eliminate”.

In fact, Dee was in theHigh-speed and stable foreign trade hosting recommendations, advantages and disadvantages of in-depth comparison + registration tutorialsThe article mentioned the disadvantages of SiteGround and Hostinger hosting, and it is not recommended to buy them. Maybe the article is too long, too much hosting at once, we can not catch the focus. So D wrote this article separately to help you avoid the pit.

To reiterate:SiteGround and Hostinger hosts are very trashy, all kinds of problems with the website, not suitable for foreign trade websites. A lot of articles on the internet say that these 2 hosts are good, and even some famous people have been recommending these 2 hosts, all because of the fact that there areReferral Rebate! There are a lot of users online who call these 2 hosts crap too.

Some people use these 2 hosts for the time being no problem is lucky, or the site simply do not have a lot of visits, can not see the problem. We build websites to contact very many users, often dealing with a variety of hosts, our judgment after a long time and many sites to verify, it is worth referring to.

There are more than enough good hosts on the market that are more stable, faster and cheaper. There is no need to use the above 2 controversial and complaint hosts.

Why do so many people recommend SiteGround and Hostinger hosting?

The internet is awash in touting SiteGround and Hostinger as the 2enjoy together主机，包括米课料神Sam在内，很多知名大V或者人物都推荐这2个主机。这里有必要解释一下为什么，拉平认知差。

From an objective point of view, these 2 hosts are not bad, they are good in general, just not good enough. Xiaodi often say that they are garbage, because Xiaodi is a website builder, the host requirements are higher, and there are many better hosts to choose from at the same price.

SiteGround and Hostinger hosting background is very simple and easy to operate, the price is affordable, the performance can be used, the big brands are also reliable, so it is very suitable for novices to use, and used to do most of the simple website can also meet the demand.

小迪经常说，SiteGround和Hostinger虽然有速度/性能天花板，导致网站速度很难优化上去，尤其是手机端。以及有时出现不稳定，兼容性差等情况，很多问题。

Why do so many people recommend these 2 hosts? Why don't they recommend other hosts?

因为大众用户的主要需求是易用、可靠 (有名气)。90%以上的新手做的网站流量极少，并发少、服务器压力小，根本就试不出咸淡。出问题 (如速度慢) 也只会怪插件或者自己技术不行，不知道是主机的原因。

新手用户更在意的是使用门槛低（易用）、能快速开通主机以及完成网站部署、最好有名气显得可靠，SiteGround和Hostinger完美切中新手需求。

至于这2个主机的缺点，大部分新手并不会遇到，或者说没影响 (网站根本没流量)，他们也不懂速度和性能，自己能把网站搭建起来就满意了。还有的人舍得花钱，直接买最高档的套餐，问题自然少很多。

加上它们知名度高，自带流量和信任度，推荐这2个主机成功率高很多。再加上佣金高，所以一大堆人趋之若鹜地去推荐这2款主机。用户满意，自己有钱赚，何乐而不为呢？

SiteGround知名度、使用门槛、综合性能之类比Hostinger好，所以更多人选择。Hostinger的主要优点是使用LiteSpeed系统，价格便宜。

以上就是这2款主机表现不是很好，可是很多人推荐的底层逻辑。那迪亚莫为啥不推荐呢？因为小迪是个完美主义者 + 极致速度追求者，我对主机要求比较高。

(not only ...) but alsoChemiCloud、ScalaHostingHosts such as these are better in every way and I definitely recommend these hosts in preference.

To be honest, if Di recommends SiteGround and Hostinger hosting, can earn more commission! But I'm more of a personality and a believer, so never recommend SiteGround and Hostinger.

Having said that, there are still novice users with some technical knowledge who demand a little more from their hosts, who install a bunch of heavy software and know how to use Google speed tests. Using SiteGround, Hostinger hosting can't meet the demand and start looking for alternatives.

Then it came to Di here, after we recommended the use of theChemiCloudHosting that has a greater increase in speed and is cheaper with better performance. That's why this article was written to tell you about the disadvantages of SiteGround and Hostinger hosting.

如果你跟小迪一样要求高，或者网站比较复杂，这2个主机跑不起来，可以试下小迪推荐的主机。

SiteGroundDisadvantages

SiteGround(简称SG)主机以前是最受欢迎的Shared HostingSiteGround is a good choice for hosting, cost-effective, fast, stable operation, good service and full functionality. SiteGround is a household name that is basically mentioned in articles recommending hosting on the web.

SiteGround在Facebook民调投票中排名第一，使用谷歌云服务器，并受到众多博主推荐。可以说，在同价位的共享主机中，它的性价比、速度和均衡性最好，获得销量桂冠也不无道理。

SiteGroundHost advantages.

1. Fast WordPress backend and good frontend speed.
2. Higher parameters than other brands of shared hosting for the same configuration.
3. Distributed cloud hosting with SSD solid state drives (not even using NVMe);
4. Deeply optimized WordPress with 3 levels of caching and good speed;
5. Moderate prices for the first rental (2.5 times the renewal fee), in line with the public budget.
6. Live Chat human service support.
7. High security, with professional firewalls and bot blockers, automatic backups.
8. 30-day money-back guarantee.

SG优点众多，是一款很不错的共享主机，可是一分钱一分货，它的缺点也同样明显。19年新增投资者后为了追逐利润开始作死，Facebook 群组中搜索“ SiteGround”，你可能会看到大量的投诉，SG一直在删除差评。

The screenshot below is from onlinemediamasters.com:

The server oversold severely leading to a great performance drop, excessive restrictions on CPU performance. Before also limit the number of bound sites, in order to reduce costs offline Live Chat function customer service quality decline, a look at cPanel price increase immediately switched to Site Tools ...

后来看到事情闹大了，就放开了一点网站数量限制，恢复Live Chat。在Facebook 搜索SG的民意调查，你会发现很多SG用户开始改用 ChemiCloud Hosting.

以前SG CDN使用的是Cloudflare CDN，有付费也有免费套餐。后来为了多赚点钱取消了和Cloudflare的合作，改用自家研发的SiteGround CDN(也有免费和收费套餐)，可是加速效果和功能不如Cloudflare。为了赚钱越弄越差。

SiteGroundHost disadvantages.

1. About 2.5 times the price of renewal!Super expensive.
2. Finding people to falsely advertise, brush the number of votes, delete bad reviews, and turn bad reputation.
3. Various limitations in the latter part of the year, starting to get stuck(To allow users to upgrade their packages);.
4. Limit the number of sites tied to it as well as the number of visits, and users have reported serious CPU limitation issues;
5. Additional fees for changing rooms.
6. Site Tool has too few features and average customer support.
7. It requires the use of its domain name resolution service, which is much less flexible;
8. Mobile is generally slow and not well optimized;
9. TTFB以及服务器响应时间长，超售严重，速度慢。

Another point we feel SG Server is not so good is that there is not much room for optimization. It uses its own cache and plug-ins, which is great for the novice user. However, it is not suitable for tech-savvy people who love to tinker, because the guide cannot use other caching solutions.

There are 4 lengths of time available when you purchase the GrowBig package.Corresponding to 4 kinds of prices(Data as of April 10, 2022).

See the problem? $29.99 This monthly price can buy a higher-end dedicated hosting with N times higher configuration, this price isReferenceThe price is to set off the other packages. Renting 24 months and 36 months monthly rent instead is more expensive than renting 12 months, this is SG's scheme! Deliberately let people choose the 12-month length package.

Why? BecauseMany times the price of SG renewal feeFor example, at the beginning of the 12-month GrowBig package price is $6.99/month, renewal 1 year price is $24.99/month ↓, renewal 2 years price is $19.99/month ↓.

(The above chart shows the renewal price of GrowBig package on May 20, 2023↑)

有些人想着到期后换个账号继续以优惠价格买新服务器，可是SG的羊毛不是那么好薅的。新账号无法绑定之前账号的域名，也无法使用之前账号的信用卡之类付款。相比之下，Vultr 1H1G高频服务器才6美金一个月，按月付款，续费价格不变。一分付出一分收获。

The SG backend speed is good, after all, the use of Google Cloud Server, but the frontend speed is not as fast as advertised, the test results are not as good as Vultr. if your business just started, you can first rent SG server temporary use, the package expires and then move the site to other servers. Diiamo recommends renting a better VPS server directly in one step, recommending Register Vultr Server.

Note: Woocommerce built cross-border e-commerce standalone site has high hosting requirements, it is not recommended to use SG server to build, because after the visit up SG will limit the CPU, read and write rate, etc.. If you are rich and capricious, when I did not say.

有个用户买了我们的《Advanced Advanced Speed Optimization TutorialHe optimized it himself and it loaded in about 1 second on the computer, 99 points. Mobile 51 points, 4.4 seconds to load, using SiteGround server.

Google test tool suggests long server response time ↓:SG servers are really mediocre and won't be fast.

By the way, SG'sRobot InterceptorThere is a bug. there was an accident that blocked the Google ad program, resulting in the Google ad prompt landing page URL is invalid. I sometimes open the ladder software to visit some foreign SG built website, will also be blocked as a robot, turn off the ladder access normal. If the customer access is blocked, most likely turn around and go away.

2023-05-20 Update: SG is now abandoning Cloudflare CDN in order to make money and using its own CDN (free and paid versions), but the number of nodes, speed, and features are not as good as theCloudflare.Recently, I've been building websites with a couple of clients' SG servers (GrowBig packages), and I've noticed that the backend as well as the frontend are slower than before, and it's just getting worse and worse.

A friend bought SG's paid CDN with full-page caching, but the result is not as good as the free Cloudflare CDN. a few people approached us to optimize the speed, built their own websites, and used SG's paid CDN, with a load time of 2.9 seconds on the computer side, and 9 seconds on the mobile side.

2025.04.19 Update: We took an order for WordPress site speed optimization using SiteGround server + FlyingPress CDN ($5/month). Diiamo is optimized to be very fast on the computer side, with a Google Speed Score of 99 and a total load time of 0.4 seconds!

But the mobile score is very bad ↓, only about 60 points, total load time 4-6 seconds. I've been tossing it around for a while and it still hasn't improved, there's always a bottleneck there, and it's a common problem that SG mobile is slow.

The picture below shows the switch to ChemiCloud Hosting, using the free CloudFlare CDN, Google tests mobile scores. The difference is too obvious ！！！！

Update 4/24/2025: A speed optimization client sent me a picture saying the site wouldn't open. I took one look at the icon UI and knew it was the SG servers messing up and told it to contact the hosting customer service directly.

The hosting customer service said that the website occupied too many resources, affecting other people's websites (low configuration shared hosting has this problem), so the temporary stop website access, but the customer's website does not have much access....

SG servers oversell badly and put too many sites, so the limits are severe and easily overrun and blocked. No kidding, Google and other crawlers crawling a little more vigorously may cause the site to be over quota and stop access.

Update 07/31/2025: Chatting in a microsoft group, the group talked about SG servers.

October 28, 2025 Update: Another SG user gave feedback to Di that the host's CPU usage reached the limit, prompting the need to upgrade the package. Merchants commonly use the same routine as Hostinger.

Right now 1W exposure per month with GrowBig $6.69/month package and that's all over the limit, too restrictive.

Received an email about upgrading the package ↓.

Take Dee's advice and switch toChemiCloud Hosting, speed measurement effect ↓.

To sum up SiteGround hosting has a lot of drawbacks, there is a ceiling limit for speeds that cannot be optimized. But at the same time it has a lot of advantages, high ease of use, and is still a good choice for beginners. The reason why I don't recommend it is because there are better choices, and Diiamo recommends it!Chemicloud Hosting.

HostingerDisadvantages

It's famous for the past few years and is known as the cheapest LiteSpeed hosting that only accepts refunds within 30 days. The server usesliteSpeed TechnologyWith the LiteSpeed caching plugin site speed can be, m class!Yan SirRecommended it says fast to the scalp (just listen).

实际上我们收到很多反馈，也看过很多博主对Hostinger的评价。总体感觉Hostinger服务器质量不行，经常出问题。相同价格下，Hostinger的CPU和内存较少、SATA SSD磁盘较慢、 超售严重。

We have used Hostinger server, the backend function is very little, far from cPanel rich. Below is a picture of a customer's website Google speed test suggests the problem, Hostinger server response time is too long.

Hostinger was exposed to painting fake sales inTrustPilotWriting fake comments, voting for myself in Facebook polls, being boycotted by a large group of foreign bloggers writing articles, and having a bad reputation.

The following is a quote from a well-known American speed blogger TOM article, clickView original article.

Tom also said Hostinger faked his blog to write articles to promote his own server.

Here is a screenshot from Johnny's own blog post, a well-known overseas blogger.

Several clients have rented Hostinger hosting for their own websites.普通套餐服务器感觉后台速度有点卡。建站过程提示磁盘使用率过高，有97次超过峰值，要求我们整改。

整个服务器只有一个全新的半成品网站，没有内容、没有访客，居然会使用率过高？联系客服说是误报，其实就是吓唬小白升级套餐。

如果租20美金/月以上的套餐，速度比较有保障，跑小流量网站是没问题的。可是价格那么高的话还是按年租，倒还不如租ChemiCloudSomething like LiteSpeed servers, which perform better and are much cheaper.

Updated 2024.09.05 with real feedback from site VIP members and slow customer service response.

Hostinger 的定价策略跟SiteGround 一样，按月缴费价格奇高。缴费时间越长，优惠越大，续费价格翻2.1倍左右（坑）。这也是我们不推荐使用它的原因之一。

The picture below is a text published by Sam, the material god, on the material network, clickView original article.

The following is a screenshot of the original website of another website builder

总之，Hostinger主机质量不行，性价比不高，限制又多，客服服务不行，道德不行，手段肮脏。这样一家公司会不会一直用心做好产品、服务好自己的客户？我们觉得不会，不推荐使用它家的服务器。

建站订单，小迪我最怕客户用它们服务器。质量不行，一大堆问题，影响我们建站，客户还可能会把服务器问题误解为是我们建站有问题。

Updated 2025.02.06:A cosmetic client's B2B foreign trade website suddenly became inaccessible via URL, prompting "xxx.com redirects you too many times.", but it opens successfully via the background button above the Hostinger server, and Diiamo (www.diiamo.cn) guesses it's the server.

客服说是因为网站使用了CloudFlare的CDN，导致服务器SSL功能出问题，临时禁用CloudFlare的代理功能(域名解析橙色云朵关闭)，过一会儿就能正常访问，然后再打开代理功能就行。

其实就是服务器技术不行，其它服务器都没这个问题。Hostinger和SG宣传做得太好，新手买服务器基本都是被误导选这2家。客户找我们做网站前就自己买了这个服务器，我们建议换他不太乐意，我也不好多说啥。

Updated 2025.02.10:Or the same customer, called me to say that the background operation of the site is slow, upload pictures and products card. After the test found that the ladder speed is not a problem, in all likelihood, is the host cause (in my server setup did not have this problem), and then he contacted the host customer service to deal with it.

Six months later, he had a problem with his service, couldn't fix it after tossing it around on his own, and finally accepted the fact that Hostinger was a piece of crap and asked me to help him get a different server. Now I don't like to persuade people, everyone has their own perception tax to pay.

搬迁服务器发现无法下载文件！下载速度几十KB/s，文件超过200MB下载到一半被服务器终止下载，提示下载完成。查看电脑下载的文件发现体积小很多，是个残缺文件，无法使用。

Previously my most annoying host was SiteGround, now Hostinger is the one that bothers me the most.

Updated 2025.03.08: A customer boughtOxygen Plugin，编辑后无法保存页面，禁用所有其它插件后问题依旧。我这边测试没问题，十有八九是主机的事，于是建议他联系客服。

Feedback the next day said the problem was solved, it was the Hostinger firewall default settings were too high mistakenly intercepted, resulting in the inability to write data. Even the basic adaptation of a well-known plugin is not done properly, which shows something about Hostinger.

Updated 2025.07.08: Members of this site have given me feedback on Hostinger hosting cards ↓.

One person experiencing a problem may be an isolated case, but with so many people giving feedback about cards and problems, there is a high probability that this host really doesn't work.Take advice, eat your fill, and don't use Hostinger.
