I use siteground as well.   Haven't really had any problems with them and I have been with them for almost a year now.

Not a very good hosting according to me...so many hidden charges...

1. pay 12$/extra addon domains...upto max 5 addon domains...very expensive - 60$.year to reach 6 websites on a account as advertised. Advertisement makes it look as if they allow 6 websites on 1 account for free.

2. Support is not free...only 7 tickets for free!

3. Does not allow to use more resources....none of the site can reach 900GB as advertised. They have banned many users from using more than 4GB/day!

4. Their support staff does not know whether they support ZendGuard Encoded Scripts or not...I heard they outsource it via Bulgaria.

All i know is that i've been with them for a year now and i never had any major problems.

1. It's even more, i bought an addon domain 2 months ago and prizes started at 14.95$  :)

2. I can't really tell how much free tickets you can get, i only needed like 5 tickets in the past year and they were free. 

3. Never had any problems, maybe it's just because i run a small site or i must be a very lucky guy. Who knows?  ;)

4. I can't judge their support staff about this. They always helped me in a fast and friendly way whenever i needed them.

Its all from my own experience...their sales staff told somebody else...that they allow ZendGuard Encoded Scripts...but support staff told no! I have experienced all these things.

And one more thing..they have disabled CPU Status check and backup option in Cpanel.

Pay them 25$ for Dump File of the site.

And regarding proofs...one can read their reviews on most webhosting review sites...most people complain the same.
