Summary
Max Ostryzhko Senior Web Developer, HostAdvice CTO Comparing SiteGround and A Small Orange hosting providers will show a stark contrast in terms of quality and services. A Small Orange really has a lot of limitations, and their reputation is questionable at best. SiteGround, on the other hand, has an overall average rank of 9.8 out of 10 from their actual users. Our hosting experts found that they provide truly incredible support, and have an almost unbeatably reliable environment to keep sites up at all times. From the beginning of this comparison, there was no doubt that SiteGround was going to be the winner. Winner! See plans and pricing

Mar. 11, 2017 Reliability 10 Pricing 10 User Friendly 10 Support 8.0 Features 10 I signed up with A Small Orange despite seeing many bitter reviews on the internet. I've been using ASO shared (small) plan f... More or 3 months. Never experienced any issue with their service. I've monitored my website uptime with Jetpack plugin of wordpress and tested speed, server response time regularly. Never experienced any downtime in last 3 months. Pingdom shows my website is faster than the 98% website. Actually, so far I'm very happy with their service. It is true that their support ticket is very slow and they took almost two weeks to reply my ticket about registering a new domain. But I never had to wait more than 3 minutes to get live chat support. My ticket was solved instantly via live chat. Another good thing about ASO is their server name and user area interface is very unique and user friendly. Hope ASO will remain consistent with their good service. Best wishes for ASO team! Less

Great service, helpful people, pleasant interactions, and then all of a sudden in 2012 they started ... More going down. I realized they got acquired and it all makes sense now. They were run into the ground to cut corners and make a profit. The service got outsourced to India, the simple navigation of the site is out the window, and the site got FAR less reliable than it once was. Such a shame. Less
