Web hosting company SiteGround announced its Easter promotion, which gives all web users the opportunity to get one year hosting at the special price of $2.00/month.

“Now users can get new full featured accounts at 80% off the regular price of $9.95/month,” says Lilyana Yakimova, Marketing Manager. SiteGround’s high quality hosting package includes unlimited web space and traffic, unlimited email accounts, free domain name for start-ups and free website files and database transfer for users with existing websites

For Easter SiteGround has also enhanced its web platform. The server administration team recently implemented the latest cPanel version into all new web servers. Each new customer will now benefit from the improved security and performance of cPanel version 11.25. The latest cPanel release is bundled with custom tools such as Quick Support, Statistics and Account Information. Only at SiteGround customers are provided with detailed Inode, Processes Running, CPU and Executions statistics, which allow users to closely monitor their website performance.

As SiteGround hosting services are widely used by web bloggers, online shop owners and webmasters of community projects using Open Source tools, the company’s spring initiative has also addressed the needs of those users. The company hosts thousands of websites created on WordPress, Joomla CMS, etc. In tune with the spring mood, SiteGround designers have launched new templates and Joomla users can now change the standard outlook of their websites with any of the newly released Spring and Easter themes at SiteGround.
