A score out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews, so a handful of glowing reviews can’t beat a product many people like.

SiteGround was stable with good people, but the yearly renewal fee could not be justified for a low-income site.
A SiteGround user likes the promotional first year and finds it solid after, but pricey for sites with little traffic.
Used SiteGround in the past and found them great, but they cost too much and raised prices after the first year.
After repeated hacks, SiteGround kept the site clean where Wordfence missed infections, but it restricts DNS control.

It's how well reviewed SiteGround is, out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews: a service needs plenty of them, compared with the most-reviewed services here, to reach the high 80s and 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
