Thanks for the warning on
Hawk Host. You pointed out maleware problems and I don't need them.
I need to be off Hostmonster by 8/24.
Based on the Digital FAQ forum,
SiteGround seems to be an excellent web host. Do Digital FAQ admin or members know of any reason for not hosting on
SiteGround? Is it a problem that I am in Seattle and their server is in Chicago?
My profile is that I am a retired technologist who donates websites to small businesses, often start-ups. I fell into this activity when a friend's start-up business needed a website. Word of mouth has caused me to expand to several businesses, all small and local in an area just north of Seattle. My clients are as follows:
***A one woman mobile equine massage business just starting
***A pet grooming shop that was very successful but is temporarily shut down
***A very successful restaurant/catering businesses
***A financial advice website that is largely inactive
***A children's book sales site that is largely inactive
***A very successful outdoor wedding venue
I write informational websites in HTML, CSS and JavaScript so they are very compact. The largest is the wedding venue at 57 MB due to all the gorgeous photos of the venue and weddings. Because I don't use a CMS and use very strong passwords (random and long), I don't think my sites are very vulnerable to maleware. One of my clients needs Spam Experts for an email address that is under spam attack. SiteGround offers Spam Experts free as part of their multi-website plan.
