I hosted 12 websites on SiteGround's GoGeek plan, their largest shared hosting option. Out of those 12, only two websites were over 5GB in size, with most of the others being lightweight with just a few pages. Despite this, SiteGround turned off all my sites, claiming that my inode quota had been exceeded and urging me to upgrade to their cloud plan. I deleted some sites to resolve the inode issue, but shortly after, they disabled my main business website, citing that my MySQL database space had exceeded 1GB (total usage was 1.4GB). Again, they pushed for an upgrade to their cloud plan.If you're considering hosting a simple blog or lightweight site, SiteGround might be okay. But I strongly advise against using it for e-commerce or medium-sized websites. Their 40GB web space and "unlimited website hosting" claims are misleading. The system is designed in such a way that you can't utilize the full 40GB, nor can you comfortably host more than 10-12 websites on the GoGeek plan without running into issues.I've since moved my websites to another platform, where the allocation of database space and inodes is clearly specified for each plan. SiteGround lacks transparency and fails to provide reliable, honest service for medium-sized websites. Their practices have significantly harmed my businesses, and I cannot recommend them for anything beyond basic, low-demand hosting needs.
