Earlier this year, we switched WPBeginner website to SiteGround web hosting. Several readers noticed the change in our footer area which now says “WordPress hosting by SiteGround” and asked us to write about why did we make the switch.
今年年初，我们将WPBeginner网站切换到SiteGround虚拟主机。 一些读者注意到我们页脚区域的变化，该区域现在显示为“ SiteGround的 WordPress托管”，并要求我们写出为什么进行此转换。
When it comes to running an online business, choosing the right web hosting platform for your needs is crucial for your success.
在开展在线业务时，选择适合您需求的虚拟主机平台对于您的成功至关重要。
In this article, I will share 6 reasons why we switched to SiteGround, and how they helped us boost WordPress speed, improve reliability, and implement a better workflow.
在本文中，我将分享我们切换到SiteGround的6个原因，以及它们如何帮助我们提高WordPress速度，提高可靠性并实现更好的工作流程。
背景 (Background)
Since I launched WPBeginner in 2009 (almost eleven years ago), our blog has grown to become the largest free WordPress resource site for beginners.
自从我在2009年(差不多十一年前)启动WPBeginner以来，我们的博客已经成长为最大的面向初学者的免费WordPress资源网站。
When I first started WPBeginner, I used shared hosting by HostGator. As the site grew, we upgraded to a VPS, then a dedicated server, and even a custom built cloud infrastructure six months ago.
当我第一次启动WPBeginner时，我使用HostGator的共享托管。 随着站点的增长，我们在六个月前升级到了VPS，然后是专用服务器，甚至是定制的云基础架构。
During these years of running WPBeginner and growing my portfolio of companies, I have tested and used just about every major website hosting platform.
在运行WPBeginner和发展公司的这些年里，我已经测试并使用了几乎所有主要的网站托管平台。
Even today, I have both active and test websites on many different hosting platforms, so we can stay updated with new features each company releases. This helps us make the right recommendations to our users based on their needs / budget.
即使在今天，我仍在许多不同的托管平台上同时拥有活动和测试网站，因此我们可以随时了解每家公司发布的新功能。 这有助于我们根据用户的需求/预算向他们提出正确的建议。
However, over the last 3 years, we have been switching many of our big websites to SiteGround’s Enterprise hosting infrastructure.
但是，在过去三年中，我们已经将许多大型网站切换到SiteGround的企业托管基础架构。
WPBeginner was one of the few big sites of ours that hadn’t made the switch to SiteGround, and it just kept becoming harder and harder to resist the temptation.
WPBeginner是我们少数几家尚未切换到SiteGround的大型网站之一，而且抵制这种诱惑的难度越来越大。
SiteGround team simply kept innovating, delivering VIP customer service, and building unique tools to make the hosting experience better for both our users and our team.
SiteGround团队一直在不断创新，提供VIP客户服务，并构建独特的工具来为我们的用户和我们的团队提供更好的托管体验。
And in January 2020, after 10.5 years of existence, WPBeginner website has finally switched to a new host, SiteGround.
并且在存在10.5年之后，到2020年1月，WPBeginner网站终于切换到了新主机SiteGround 。
我们改用SiteGround的6个理由 (6 Reasons Why We Switched to SiteGround)
When it comes to WordPress hosting, the most important factors for me are: speed, reliability, support, and tools that improves dev workflow.
对于WordPress托管 ，对我来说最重要的因素是：速度，可靠性，支持以及可改善开发人员工作流程的工具。
Below are the top 6 reasons why we switched to SiteGround hosting.
以下是我们改用SiteGround托管的6大理由。
Note: we’re on SiteGround’s Enterprise Hosting which is built and optimized specifically for our needs. Although a lot of the similar things are also offered on their various hosting plans.
注意：我们使用的是SiteGround的企业托管 ，它是根据我们的需求专门构建和优化的。 尽管在各种托管计划中也提供了许多类似的功能。
1. SiteGround现在已在Google Cloud Platform上(完全托管) (1. SiteGround is now on Google Cloud Platform (Fully Managed))
As a hosting enthusiast, when SiteGround CEO, Tenko Nikolov, first told me about this news I was excited beyond words. It was really hard for me to keep this a secret for this long.
作为主持人，当SiteGround首席执行官Tenko Nikolov第一次告诉我这个消息时，我感到无比激动。 对于我来说，这么长时间一直很难保密。
Previously all SiteGround customer websites were hosted on one of their data centers either in USA or Europe. The private data center providers did a great job with keeping up with new hardware technologies, but the switch to Google’s Cloud Platform is a game-changer.
以前，所有SiteGround客户网站都托管在美国或欧洲的一个数据中心中。 私有数据中心提供商在跟上新硬件技术方面做得很出色，但是改用Google的Cloud Platform却可以改变游戏规则。
It simply unlocks a lot of performance and reliability improvement since Google has a state-of-the-art network.
由于Google拥有最先进的网络，因此它可以带来很多性能和可靠性提升。
The best part is that SiteGround made this platform improvement available for all their customers (not just Enterprise users). Yes, this means that even if you signup for their starter WordPress hosting plan ($3.95 per month), you’re going to be hosted on Google’s Cloud Platform.
最好的部分是，SiteGround使该平台的改进适用于所有客户(不仅仅是企业用户)。 是的，这意味着即使您注册了他们的入门WordPress托管计划 (每月3.95美元)，您仍将托管在Google的云平台上。
This is a huge deal because you get all the benefits of scaling and resource management without worrying about behind the scenes stuff (since the entire setup is managed by SiteGround).
这是一笔很大的交易，因为您可以享受扩展和资源管理的所有好处，而不必担心幕后的事情(因为整个设置都是由SiteGround管理的)。
It’s a fact that Google and Amazon offer top-notch cloud platforms. The challenge is that they’re not easy to use for small business owners which is a huge disadvantage.
Google和Amazon提供一流的云平台是事实。 挑战在于它们对于小型企业所有者而言不容易使用，这是一个巨大的劣势。
SiteGround is now leveling the playing field for small businesses by helping them compete with the big guys. This aligns with our core values at WPBeginner and Awesome Motive.
SiteGround现在正在通过帮助小型企业与大型企业竞争，为小型企业提供公平的竞争环境。 这符合WPBeginner和Awesome Motive的核心价值观。
2.多区域故障转移设置的最大正常运行时间 (2. Maximum Uptime with Multi-regional Failover Setup)
Reliability and site uptime is a huge priority for us because it impacts user experience.
可靠性和站点正常运行时间是我们的首要任务，因为这会影响用户体验。
Imagine going to a store in the middle of the day only to see a temporary closed sign. It’s an extremely frustrating experience, and you simply move on to a different store.
想象一下，在一天中途去一家商店时看到一个临时的封闭招牌。 这是一次非常令人沮丧的体验，您只需转到其他商店即可。
This is exactly how users feel when they visit a website that’s experiencing downtime.
这就是用户访问遭受停机的网站时的真实感受。
SiteGround’s Enterprise team used Google Cloud Platform to design a reliable multi-regional failover setup for us.
SiteGround的企业团队使用Google Cloud Platform为我们设计了可靠的多区域故障转移设置。
This means that in rare situations when a specific Google datacenter region experiences downtime, our website traffic will be routed to a different region, so our readers always have the best experience.
这意味着，在极少数情况下，当特定的Google数据中心区域发生停机时，我们的网站流量将被路由到其他区域，因此我们的读者始终会获得最佳体验。
3.一流的企业支持团队 (3. The Best-in-Class Enterprise Support Team)
Quality support is a very important factor when choosing a web hosting company. This is why many businesses pay extra for managed WordPress hosting, so they can get their problems resolved faster.
选择网络托管公司时，质量支持是非常重要的因素。 这就是为什么许多企业为托管WordPress托管支付额外费用的原因，因此他们可以更快地解决问题。
My various companies collectively spend several hundred thousand dollars every year on hosting related expense (yes that’s multiple six figures per year). Our costs are high because we serve billions of impressions monthly across our websites.
我的各个公司每年总计花费数十万美元用于托管相关费用(是的，每年是六位数)。 我们的成本很高，因为我们每月在我们的网站上提供数十亿次展示。
Depending on the size of the site, I have websites on shared hosting companies, VPS platforms, dedicated servers, and even many managed hosting platforms.
根据网站的大小，我在共享托管公司，VPS平台，专用服务器甚至许多托管主机平台上都有网站。
No one comes close to offering the level of support that SiteGround does. Just read these 3900+ SiteGround user reviews from WPBeginner readers, and that’s for their regular hosting plans (not the enterprise plan).
没有人能提供SiteGround所提供的支持水平。 只需阅读WPBeginner读者的3900多个SiteGround用户评论 ，这是他们的常规托管计划(而非企业计划)。
On the Enterprise plan, we have a personal account manager along with a 24/7 dedicated Enterprise engineer team.
在企业计划中，我们有个人客户经理以及24/7全天候的企业工程师团队。
When I say 24/7, I really mean it. Their enterprise support is offered through a Private Slack Channel where we can use the @here tag which pages the engineer on duty to respond. Their response times are nearly instant, and the engineers are true experts.
当我说24/7时，我是真的。 他们的企业支持是通过Private Slack渠道提供的，在这里我们可以使用@here标记，该标记将对值班的工程师进行响应。 他们的响应时间几乎是即时的，工程师是真正的专家。
We also have direct personal phone access to the enterprise team as well in case of emergencies during holidays.
如果在假日期间发生紧急情况，我们还可以直接与企业团队联系个人电话。
Other enterprise hosting companies that we work with also offer Slack support, but their paging system and availability isn’t up to par with SiteGround.
我们与之合作的其他企业托管公司也提供了Slack支持，但是其分页系统和可用性无法与SiteGround相提并论。
4.可扩展的开发工作流程 (4. Development Workflow that Scales)
Our team has various testing and deployment workflows that require custom setup, permission control, etc.
我们的团队拥有各种测试和部署工作流程，这些工作流程需要自定义设置，权限控制等。
Over the last 3 years, SiteGround enterprise team has worked alongside our developers to not only build new workflows but improve existing ones to ensure the smoothest process.
在过去的三年中，SiteGround企业团队与我们的开发人员一起不仅建立了新的工作流程，而且改进了现有工作流程以确保最顺畅的流程。
Not to mention, they have built custom tools to improve speed and reliability of our various websites based on the specific platform needs.
更不用说，他们已经构建了定制工具来根据特定平台的需求来提高我们各种网站的速度和可靠性。
5.通过本机Google服务更快地进入市场 (5. Faster Go to Market with Native Google Services)
One of the biggest advantages of using a cloud platform like Amazon or Google is their native services.
使用像Amazon或Google这样的云平台的最大优势之一是它们的本机服务。
Instead of wasting time developing and managing custom solutions, SiteGround uses Google’s native services to solve the problems faster and more reliably.
SiteGround不会浪费时间开发和管理自定义解决方案，而是使用Google的本机服务来更快，更可靠地解决问题。
For example, Google’s Cloud SQL has simply replaced the custom MySQL cluster management software which has made things way more efficient.
例如，Google的Cloud SQL仅替换了自定义MySQL群集管理软件，从而使事情变得更加高效。
Instead of using an internal alert and monitoring system, SiteGround is using a smart Google Stackdriver integration to monitor each virtual machine instance from various regions, so we can ensure maximum uptime with automated failover.
SiteGround没有使用内部警报和监视系统，而是使用智能的Google Stackdriver集成来监视来自各个区域的每个虚拟机实例，因此我们可以通过自动故障转移来确保最大的正常运行时间。
We also swapped out WPBeginner blog search with Google’s Custom Search API, so you can now see WPBeginner site search results without any of the Google Ads that were shown previously.
我们还将WPBeginner博客搜索与Google的自定义搜索API交换了出去，因此您现在可以看到WPBeginner网站搜索结果，而无需显示以前显示的任何Google Ads。
There are also plans to use other Google Cloud services as we expand to unlock performance and reliability improvements.
随着我们的扩展，还计划使用其他Google Cloud服务来实现性能和可靠性方面的改进。
6.降低成本和复杂性，并获得最佳性能 (6. Reduced Costs and Complexity with Maximum Performance)
Just six months ago, I wrote a blog post highlighting a custom infrastructure that we built with our previous hosting provider. While the setup was powerful, it introduced a lot of costs and complexities when it came to management.
就在六个月前，我写了一篇博客文章，重点介绍了我们与以前的托管服务提供商建立的自定义基础架构。 尽管设置功能强大，但在管理方面却带来了许多成本和复杂性。
Since SiteGround enterprise team has worked with us over the last three years on our eCommerce websites, and they regularly work with other enterprise clients as well, they have streamlined a lot of the processes.
由于SiteGround企业团队在过去三年中通过我们的电子商务网站与我们合作，并且他们也定期与其他企业客户合作，因此他们简化了许多流程。
Their team knows how to unlock maximum performance improvements without introducing complicated services.
他们的团队知道如何在不引入复杂服务的情况下最大程度地提高性能。
Our front-end website (that readers see), stayed blazing fast as always. But we unlocked massive performance improvements on the back-end and uncached pages.
我们的前端网站(读者可以看到)一如既往地保持着快速增长。 但是，我们在后端和未缓存的页面上实现了巨大的性能提升。
On average, we’re seeing between 72% to 100% improvements on uncached pages.
平均而言，我们发现未缓存页面的改进介于72％到100％之间。

最终想法– SiteGround评论 (Final Thoughts – SiteGround Review)
I first started testing and recommending SiteGround in 2013. Since then, I have seen them make significant improvements to their platform while maintaining top notch customer service.
我从2013年开始测试并推荐SiteGround。此后，我发现他们在保持一流客户服务的同时，对其平台进行了重大改进。
In 2015, I switched one of my other popular blogs to SiteGround. At the time that blog received few hundred million pageviews annually (I sold that website in 2018).
2015年，我将自己的其他热门博客之一切换到SiteGround。 当时该博客每年获得几亿浏览量(我于2018年出售了该网站)。
After I saw how efficiently SiteGround managed that website, we slowly started moving our other sites on SiteGround.
在我看到SiteGround管理该网站的效率之后，我们慢慢开始在SiteGround上移动其他网站。
In 2017, we signed up for their Enterprise Hosting plan to start moving our eCommerce websites. Over the last three years, our CTO and lead developers have worked closely with SiteGround.
2017年，我们签署了他们的企业托管计划，开始移动我们的电子商务网站。 在过去三年中，我们的CTO和主要开发人员与SiteGround紧密合作。
Their team including Hristo, Daniel, Ivan S, and Ivan Y have earned our trust time and time again. You know it’s true when a paying customer (me) sends you a Christmas gift basket.
他们的团队包括Hristo，Daniel，Ivan S和Ivan Y一次又一次赢得了我们的信任。 您知道当付费客户(我)向您发送圣诞节礼物篮时，这是真的。
That’s why when we re-evaluated our technology stack after last Black Friday sales, it was an easy decision for me to finally move WPBeginner and few other sites over to SiteGround, so they can be managed by the same expert team.
这就是为什么当我们在上次黑色星期五销售之后重新评估我们的技术堆栈时，对我来说，最终将WPBeginner和其他几个站点转移到SiteGround是一个容易的决定，因此可以由同一个专家团队进行管理。
While WPBeginner is on SiteGround’s enterprise hosting plan, I also have few websites on their shared hosting and two sites on their dedicated servers.
当WPBeginner处于SiteGround的企业托管计划中时，我在共享托管上的网站也很少，在专用服务器上的网站也很少。
I highly recommend SiteGround for websites of all sizes. Whether you need WordPress hosting, specialized WooCommerce hosting, or even custom enterprise hosting solution like the one we have, you’ll get the best service.
我强烈建议将SiteGround用于各种规模的网站。 无论您是需要WordPress托管 ， 专业的WooCommerce托管 ，还是需要像我们这样的自定义企业托管解决方案，您都将获得最好的服务。
All their plans are now running on Google Cloud Platform, they offer dynamic caching + speed optimization, a guided setup wizard, along with staging and other smart workflow tools.
他们的所有计划现在都在Google Cloud Platform上运行，它们提供动态缓存+速度优化，向导式设置向导以及暂存和其他智能工作流程工具。
The best part is their pricing is extremely competitive in all areas. Startup plans are $3.95 per month, and their GoGeek plan is $11.95 per month which is 70% lower than other managed hosting platforms.
最好的部分是它们的价格在所有领域都极具竞争力。 启动计划的费用为每月3.95美元，他们的GoGeek计划的费用为每月11.95美元，比其他托管平台低70％。
If I were to rate SiteGround, I would give them a perfect 5 out of 5.
如果要对SiteGround进行评分，我会给他们满分5分的5分。
